If you=E2=80=99re seeking a fork of PHP that wilfully breaks BC for the =
sake of cleanup and optimisation, you should seriously consider Hack. =
Although I don=E2=80=99t know whether they=E2=80=99ve already removed =
support of the appalling implicit initialisation of  variables to =
`null`, or of the dreadful backtick operator, you=E2=80=99ll be =
delighted to learn that they=E2=80=99re on the process of removing =
references, PHP arrays (in favour of Hack arrays and collections), and =
even that little pesky `<?php` tag that plagues the first line of every =
PHP file. ;-)

Enjoy. (But not with me: our company does not have the budget to migrate =
30 Mo of code without counting external libraries.)
