Null safe, promoted properties, named arguments, mixed/union type, all the goodies! Wrote it before even watching, just from what I use every day

@ericbitim
Already on PHP 8, and I love it so much.
@GamePlayByFaks
Personally using 8 but due (my) to packages in open source, I still have to support from 7.4, also been planning to upgrade to 8.1 when the time comes.
@glurp1er
Named arguments sound pretty useful, I often used arrays as arguments for the same reason.
@MonethiTebohoArthurnacious
I skipped to PHP 8 after release and just learned new features as I went by, I'm using laragon and recently switched to 8.1(R C 5) after seeing a tweet by Tailor. I have done so many projects in php 8 that I automatically write in PHP 8 syntax.
@imqqmi
I've migrated a big application from 7.3 to 7.4, and taken into account the changes to 8.0 as well, wasn't that many. I used phpcompatibility and phpstorm inspect to find all the possible issues and fixed them. Didn't take me more than a couple of days. I've got pretty good coverage with phpunit so getting a stable release was no big deal. The added features is great! Note that the adoption rate may also be inhibited by red hat enterprise, since you need to upgrade the os in order to use newer versions of php with their extnended support.
@celebritydev1
Nice. Thanks for the update. match would be a time saver!
@gerard02700
i switched to mern stack since one year, this brings me years of memories with php
@BsiennKhan
PHP 8 is recent addition, and big projects takes years to build up. Live servers are provisioned with the stack at the project started with, after a while many more projects gets added to the same server. It's not that easy to shift language per project on production as much of a hassle. Dockerizing is not always the luxury.
@alexaverkiyev9099
Using PHP 8 since it was released. Just too much difference between 7.* and 8.0, you also didn't mention performance which is much better comparing to 7.4
@coltonwilliams1565
the null safe operator by itself is worth upgrading
@nullv01d
I still use 7.4 on most of my projects. Has a special place in my heart somehow. 😅
@baadrqaaba9529
As soon as php8 came out , i used it right away .
@sergiuprt
