Phoronix: An Early Look At Some PHP 7.4 Performance Benchmarks

The initial PHP 7.4 Alpha 1 release is just two weeks away already... Curious about the performance of this yearly update to PHP7, I ran some benchmarks on the latest development code as of this morning compared to the earlier PHP7 releases and even PHP-8.0 that is in development on Git master...

PHP has gotten pretty cool things such as declare(strict_types = 1);
I would really like to see support for optionally strongly-typed class properties, and decorators/attributes.

It has been accepted for 7.4: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/typed_properties_v2
Although I would call it only "typed class properties", as PHP is not strongly-typed no matter how you look at it.
