From: marcelog@gmail.com (Marcelo Gornstein)

regarding the annotations stuff: it seems the php community (in
general) really wants annotations. lots of important and widely used
frameworks use them (meaning that not only the plain php users have a
use for this feature, but also the users of the respective frameworks,
increasing the overall user number interested). i.e: doctrine,
symfony2, ding, phpunit, etc, etc. we cant just ignore this fact.

also, this means that there are tons of custom annotations
implementations (almost one per framework that has a use for them),
and we end up duplicating code and  slowing the overall performance
for applications.

my question is: is php a language made for the php developers that
mantain the language or for the community that uses them and
contributes to it everyday?

just a thought
