Implemented `NewExpressionParenthesesFixer` to support my "new without parentheses" RFC for PHP 8.4. Looking forward to review from @PHPCSFixer 😉

Just marked https://t.co/oapc4z9QDT as implemented in PHP 8.4! I'm super excited about this!

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@_Codito_ Yeah, I am very happy that Nikita had a look! Already pushed the fix.

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@chalas_r Thank you!

I've just started voting for my RFC "new MyClass()->method() without parentheses" https://t.co/oapc4z9iOl

I prototyped something over the weekend:

phpup – A single-file binary to run Composer and other tools, and to install a per-project PHP interpreter.

You don't need to have PHP installed on your machine to use it.

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

PHP is alive!

what opinion will you defend like this?

[Brent @brendt_gd]

25 yes, 0 no.

This is the way!

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

I admire how courageously you face the disease. I am so happy to know you in person (we met at SymfonyCon Amsterdam in 2019). Stay strong! Wish you all the best. ❤️

So.... I have incurable brain cancer and I'm asking for your love & support 💖

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@funivan @pronskiy I hope you will get rid of it soon 😉

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@frankdejonge @pronskiy I've added your test to be 100% sure that current behavior is preserved. https://t.co/oXB1zkB7SZ

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@lito_ordes @myakshin @pronskiy Unfortunately, this is not static analysis friendly. I usually add named static factories that reflect domain language. For instance, `Uuid::fromString(string)`, `Color::fromHex(string)`, etc.

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@mrtoakdeniz @pronskiy I think, you are just not used. You don't read `new MyClass()` as `new` + `MyClass()` function call, do You? Same here. In other languages it seems natural and does not raise any questions. Anyway, RFC does not prohibit to continue using parentheses to emphasize priority.

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@myakshin @pronskiy That would be a BC break for already existing static methods named "new" with required parameters. At the same time, other languages for years supported new without parentheses, so we can just bring PHP in line.

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@enunomaduro Check out https://t.co/I29D5SYSDs, it already has a type system, extracted from Psalm and PHPStan and a Reflection with all types supported. Could be helpful for your idea.

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@extralam @pronskiy I think it's a matter of habit. At least Java and C# developers use this syntax without any problems.

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@doekenorg @pronskiy @olegandreyev If it were ambiguous, PHP language bison grammar would not compile in my PR. But it did, so it's okay, it means that parser can unambiguously determine what the code should do.

[Valentin Udaltsov @vudaltsov]

@Ocramius Once we were coding side by side at EU-FOSSA Hackathon in Brussels. That was cool and inspiring, we were all from different places and cultures and it meant nothing for collaboration. I would've never believed that you can post such a stupid generalization.

@amorev94 Ахахах

@SyntaxSeed In the project one can use @psalmphp to detect this kind of issues locally and in CI.
