PHP 8.2 - zlacker

>>TimWol+(OP)
What’s a feature that PHP is missing, that if it had it - would garner it more respect?

Note: I think PHP is way under appreciated.

  * function autoloading
  * typedef 
  * templating hooks for escaping output and such
  * better phpdoc, e.g define class without creating class, nested structures. 
  * inner class 
  * modules (instead of namespaces)
