@akalongman why? Laravel is one of my favorite framework and I always use it and I appreciate Taylor but PHP is language and should be independent of framework etc. By doing this we are discouraging competition among framework etc.

He's listing other frameworks, CRMs and CMS's, so why not add Laravel? By your principle those other ones should be removed too.

Would also be interesting to see the potentially notable* performance increase any code will get, when moving from using magic methods for properties typing (using __get() __set() et.al) to this.

In order for most projects to move away from them, hopefully readonly properties also arrives in one way or the other in 7.4.

* magic methods has at least in older PHP versions known to be very slow compared to normal method calls or normal property access.

@shirshak55 But the idea is know the performance of the applications using the new changes, as @mclassic say he's listing other frameworks.
