Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC][Vote] Typed Properties
From: daniel@honestempire.com (Daniel Morris)

If every language is the same then what's the point of different
languages? People use Scala and PHP for different things, if your
developers are considering walking for that reason then they should
evaluate whether they want to build things or whether they want to be
trendy. Good (heck, great) developers will put to best use the tools
they have available. Migrate to Go, and watch every one of them
eventually complain about how they're having to check for err against
every function call since functions return multiple values, have them
migrate to Scala and watch their frustration as the time to change
visibility is dropped significantly; if you've hired developers that
care more about trends than your application then you've hired the wrong
developers.
