[TYPO3-core] Fwd: Annotation PHP 7

[Stefan Neufeind]

Just fyi. Some discussions (again) going on the php-dev mailinglist
regarding annotations. Start of the thread was that there are currently
at least 3 RFCs for native support of annotations

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/reflection_doccomment_annotations
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/annotations-in-docblock
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/annotations

but nothing yet fixed for PHP 7. If somebody feels like it, maybe speak
up on the php-dev-list as well.


Kind regards,
 Stefan

The TYPO3-family (TYPO3 CMS, Flow, Neos) also use annotations.
So, yes it is used "in the wild" already and is there to stay. We can
imho just make it a bit easier to work with (maybe also performance-wise
in some cases) etc.


Kind regards,
