Actually,  I was surprised by the progress of voting now...

Seems never have so many users to vote...  and bulk of active core
developers are vote against on it.

As a PHP user,  I actually don't care about scalar type hinting much..

but I am strongly objecting declare thing...

image of,  one line setting care make a project doesn't work...

image of,  a larger project, some devers user strict_type, some for
safe doesn't use..

then they have to add declare to every files's head...

it's a nightmare....

I , here, acking you please reconsidering your vote...


thanks
