PHP 7. It’s been out for a while now, and I’m genuinely curious about usage adoption. Not experiments or playground apps, but actual packages and apps that use PHP 7 in production, or require it to be installed. In fact, I asked about this on Twitter and, within minutes, got several replies. Aside from this interesting Request/Response modifier library, Marco Pivetta said he’s moving all his Ocramius-namespaced stuff to PHP 7, @freekmurze told us about three of his packages, and Cees-Jan Kiewiet is also giving it a go - and that’s just among my close contacts.
But that’s just PHP 7 - how many people actually use full strict mode in their code? Again, Marco Pivetta is leading the charge and jumping straight into strictness, but I’d love to hear from you - are you stricting it up yet? If not, why? Would you like tutorials on how to do this? Do you know any packages that are going strict? Let us know!
