Well, maybe it's time to make some decisions and start to spin the wheels?

I's quite obvious that annotations are out for next release until they are a
docbook/phpDoc style. Personally I do not understand the concept fully, but
my vote will definetly go to the docbook/phpdoc variant. Adding a whole new
syntax is just crazy. PHP is a scripting language, not the Java/C# and
alike, it should stay simple. Period.
I hope KISS still is a PHP principle?

Sometimes i'm sorry I don't like to do C - it just scared me away in
college. Because people here sometimes just do strange things witch tend me
to beleve that they do not know the PHP - they know C and try to add things
they know from other languages so they don't have to learn the PHP way of
doing things. Till the typehint threads and annotation threads i liked the
core developer responces and the way php has been heading. Can we keep that
and stop discussing things that are 100% alien to php like strict type
hinting? in php? are you insane? same with annotations. wana do them? do
them simple. docbook/phpdoc annotations allready exist - work out a standart
and implement - clean, simple, fast and all ready exists within community.
It's a no brainer.

Same with features that have been worked on and forgotten. Revisit, finish
and people will like it - there are thing people ask and thouse aren't
annotations right now. Community wants typehints and a bunch of stuff from
that RFC page.

I hope a spark of reason and sanity will ignight and the procces will start
in a few days, or PHP will be seriously screwed in a few years and i will
have to make python my primary web development language and i don't wana do
that.

Arvids.
