Hi Markus,=0A=
=0A=
The first question that comes to my mind is, wouldn't this also be an=0A=
issue in all the other languages that use the `@Attr` syntax?=0A=
Personally I've used TypeScript decorators quite a bit, and the use=0A=
of the `@` character hasn't been a readability problem there.=0A=
=0A=
I guess this mostly comes down to the font you use. E.g. here's how=0A=
the example looks for me in VS Code with the JetBrains Mono font:=0A=

And it's probably safe to say that syntax support/highlighting in=0A=
PhpStorm will be improved prior to the release of PHP 8.0. :)=0A=

Best regards,  =0A=
