There are too many people out there who are trying to make the language more complicated than it need be just to prove how clever they are.
I can assure you I am not proposing these RFCs to show how clever I am.
If millions of programmers have written millions of lines of code to write effective programs WITHOUT the use of type hinting/enforcement, then how come there are some people out there who keep saying that PHP is a bad language because it does not have type checking? Those who cannot write effective software without these "clever" additions to the language are doing nothing but announcing to the world that they are not clever enough to write effective software using their own limited abilities. -- Tony Marston
