But what's rotten that you have to use in the day-to-day? PHP still has it's quirks, sure, but when I write modern PHP nearly all of those melt away. Also, well done Cliche, that's pretty neat; there are some other implementations of this idea nowadays that do similar things and are very useful.[0]
One of the reasons I love HHVM is that Hack is basically PHP-the-good-parts-with-other-awesome-good-parts-added. Static analysis? No problem. Autocomplete? Built into the default tooling! Having to remember dirty array method parameter ordering? No need -- use Collections and use methods on the primitives!
