There's already a statically typed version of PHP, it's called Hack.
Why anyone would use any variation of PHP for a new project in 2019 is simply inconceivable.
- alexhutcheson 7y agoSomewhat surprisingly, the main PHP implementation has made huge performance improvements since Hack was released in 2014, and has actually become one of the fastest mainstream scripting languages. Speed + ubiquity in shared hosting environments + a huge corpus of existing frameworks and code make it pretty attractive for web applications, especially of the CRUD/CMS variety.
- echelon 7y ago> shared hosting environments I see shared hosting and VPS eventually going the way of the dodo now that cloud hosting is mainstream. Has the market seen any growth recently?
- codesushi42 7y agoSpeed is irrelevant because Hack is compiled. Shared hosting environments are also irrelevant in 2019.
