A lot happened in the last couple of days in the @php_plus project - so, Chris and I decided the make both the website and the repository private. No worries, it's definitely happening, now more than ever, but that we want to keep development under wraps for now. 👍🏻

[Liam Hammett @LiamHammett]

💡 A common, simple and predictable pattern I think something like @php_plus could simplify is automatic memoisation and idempotency of function returns.

Would love to see it brought to the table! 🙏

[nunomaduro @enunomaduro]

Hey friends - do you ever used the object initializer syntax from c#? Do you think it is a good fit for @php_plus? 🧐

[nunomaduro @enunomaduro]

With @php_plus, the initialization of class properties can be an entire expression. Chris originally studied this idea, and I am happy about including this in Plus. 👌🏻 https://t.co/z5kTJiHGXJ

[nunomaduro @enunomaduro]

✨ @php_plus supports the generation of source maps natively, and it always reconstructs the original source code before dispatching it to your debugger or logger.

Here is an example with @laravelphp and @flareappio's ignition. 🔥

@Bellal__Mohamed Be patient. 👍

@enunomaduro @OliverNybroe @assertchris @php_plus @phpstorm This. Exactly this. This is why this is a huge challenge, but boy, if you manage to get the ecosystem right, this is a game changer.

[nunomaduro @enunomaduro]

Doing documentation driven development today about the philosophies of @php_plus.

Working on the v0.1 specification now - the very first features most be things that everyone already agrees on. Later an RFC mechanism will take over. 👍🏻

[Oliver Nybroe @OliverNybroe]

@m1guelpf @enunomaduro @php_plus @assertchris @phpstorm Yeah, so this is this very much in the idea phase with the IDE, but I might think about making a Language Server Protocol, so we can use it in a lot of IDE's.

[nunomaduro @enunomaduro]

There's one thing I've learned: You can't change the world alone. So @OliverNybroe I will be joining @assertchris and I developing @php_plus.

Oliver will be focusing on the @phpstorm plugin. Thank you, buddy! 🐘 https://t.co/z5kTJiHGXJ

[assertchris @assertchris]

Nuno is using it! I could not be more excited about this. Will be great to see days of theoretical work put to use in something brilliant like @php_plus

[assertchris @assertchris]

Just pushed the latest pre/standard stuff. Time to put it to work in some existing macros...

[assertchris @assertchris]

@enunomaduro @php_plus What about "if ('thing' in $stuff)" as a shortcut for in_array or array_key_exists.

[nunomaduro @enunomaduro]

This ‘is’ awesome. ✍🏻 @php_plus

[nunomaduro @enunomaduro]

📹 Just recorded a video to show how fast and easy is the installation process of Plus. Also, it shows how you will be able to simplify class methods with @php_plus. https://t.co/EFTWaTX2bb

[nunomaduro @enunomaduro]

Decided to merge the @php_plus organization into Pre. The installation process will be something like: `composer install pre/plus`.

Also - created an RFC template based in @rustlang: https://t.co/TgMOH8BlyZ. 👍🏻

✨ Out with the old, in with the new… Here is the official logo of @PHP_PLUS.

Be ready for some savage wallpapers for your devices to start. There's so many possibilities with this design!

[assertchris @assertchris]

who follows me that would be interested in paid PHPStorm/vscode plugin dev? think adding superset syntax support for PHP.

[nunomaduro @enunomaduro]

I am excited to announce that @assertchris's Pre will be the new @php_plus's core.

We will be working together, and each project will have different responsibilities.

You better be ready for what's coming. 🔥

[nunomaduro @enunomaduro]
