Almost 8 years ago, I wrote “What is PHP anyway?“. This blog is supposed to be about some long-term dreams, and in this case it was the dream come true – Sara Golemon and the excellent Facebook team made a draft PHP spec and with some paint and polish it can become a real spec pretty soon. Not sure if it can be ready by the 8th anniversary of that post, but it probably will be out by the 9th 🙂
Talking to people, I recently discovered not everybody knows this thing exists. So here it goes – it exists right here. It is still a draft. If you see something wrong, submit a pull request. If you feel you can contribute more by working on it or refining some points, “standards” mailing list was re-purposed to be the working group list.
