I meant expressive enough that you don't need DocBlocks as often. We're nowhere near being done, PHP still lacks proper Generics and Algebraic Data Types. Recently we got Union Types (8.0) and will soon have Enums (8.1). If you really needed generics today, you can do it with DocBlocks and static analyzers like PHPStan: <https://phpstan.org/blog/generics-in-php-using-phpdocs https://phpstan.org/blog/generics-in-php-using-phpdocs>. I'm hopeful that in the future, you won't need a DocBlock for that. As for ADTs, there's some on going discussions here: <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/adts https://wiki.php.net/rfc/adts> which would build upon the existing support for Enums (8.1). I'm really looking forward to being able to have something resembling Optional/Maybe. I'm by no means saying what PHP has is enough today, just that it's less limited than it was a few years ago. It'll be even less limited in the future.
