La conférence
What's new in PHP 8.4During this presentation, we are going to look at the new features that were introduced in PHP 8.4, and some in earlier versions. Join me to have a look at how the type system is strengthened with Typed Class Constants, Readonly Classes, Arbitrary Static Variable Initialisers, Overloaded Method Markers, and other new smaller features and clean-ups. At the end you will have a good understanding about all the new and exciting features that are part of the PHP 8.4 release. |

If you could choose only one new functionality in PHP 8.4. Which would you choose?
Probably the most important one is the new property hooks, which allows to reduce a whole lot of boiler plate with something much more succinct code.
Xdebug is an essential tool for PHP developers. What improvements are planned for the next versions?
I am working on Native Path Mapping, so that these can be set-up on a per-project places, instead of having to rely on an IDE to do this.
You have made significant contributions to the PHP community over many years. Did you have any tip on our to manage to stay afloat on open source on the long run?
I meticulously use a todo app, closely following the Getting Things Done methodology. If it’s not in my todo app or calendar, it’s not happening. Whenever I get a question from a user, a request by a PHP Foundation co-worker, or generally anything that needs doing, it goes into the app. It’s a bit different for Xdebug work, as for that I plan a dedicated timeslot and then go over the tickets in the issue tracker.
