I really like this page as well! It will definitely help improve PHP's
reputation and adoption.

I'd like to suggest a couple improvements, though:

1/ Match expression:

The new match is similar to switch and has the following features:
> (...)
> *+ Match throws an UnhandledMatchError if no match is found*


2/ Nullsafe operator:

Instead of null check conditions, you can now use a chain of calls with the

IMO, "fails" could imply that an unknown property, or a property that
evaluates to a non-object is acceptable.

Sorry if these suggestions come a bit late, now that translations have
landed.
