It would be interesting to see what PHP 7's speed can do for them.

  Speed and lower memory utilization are great, but PHP7 really is just full of goodies: * Scalar type declarations * Return type declarations * null coalescing operator (the real MVP) * spaceship operator * introduced Throwable, big improvement to error handling * removed PHP4 style constructors * removed the old mysql extension Most modern PHP codebases should be able to upgrade from PHP5.6 to PHP7 seamlessly

    > * null coalescing operator (the real MVP) I'm glad someone appreciates it that much! Since helping introduce it, I haven't found as much use for it as I expected.

      25 uses in my current codebase vs 5 for spaceship It's not so much about the count though, but the beauty of it: $id = trim($options[$longCamelCaseID]['abcdefg'] ?? ""); A real godsend
