For the order of function arguments: sounds like you'd enjoy https://github.com/azjezz/psl.

Yes it's a userland workaround and not a fix for the language, but it's thinking about these issues and a PHP extension (offering better performance) is being talked about.

Yep that's a great library, I'd like to see some of it in core. Same with this: https://github.com/lstrojny/functional-php which overlaps somewhat.

The no-brainers to me are the missing array_some()/array_any() array_every()/array_all() and an array_search() that takes a predicate and iterable. I do these now in userland but an optimized native version would be nice.

>>porker+(OP)
PHP 8.0.0 introduced named arguments which allow for arbitrary argument order. That was nearly 2 years ago exactly to date.

What does that lib do that PHP doesn't?

That lib probably makes any seasoned php dev really confused or think everything is backwards and somehow still works.
