It can, though it doesn't have to, at all. PHP still has a very low entry barrier compared to Java. You can opt in to all of the syntactic sugar, or none at all, which is the way it should be.

Or Typescript...but that makes me happy. IDE help and type checking that code you haven't touched in months is so worth it
