    I wonder how they can reduce memory usage by more than 100% ...

      Performance and memory improvements is the cheapest lie found in new releases, often it's a half truth - they tell you about the performance increase in one part of the software but don't tell you it happened at the cost of performance degradation in another part of it.

          You have a link to the patch on the RFC with the explanations and you can also check that on their github repo, you can check the php-internals mailing list to read the discussion about it last summer, you can also install 5.6alpha and test by yourself since you don't trust the developers.

                I am a PHP developer with enough experience to say what I want about the language. Have you seen the RFC for annotations? Somewhat decent, to be honest. Have you seen what they actually want to implement? DOCCOMMENTS?! Why can't they implement Generics in a way that is syntactically consistent with Java? What MORONS!

                Only complete and utter incompetence would warrant things like:
                • Backslashes edge out forward slashes even, let alone colons/periods/gtlt for namespace delimiters
                • Procedural clones of every OO method out there
                • So much junk in the root namespace (to be fair: namespaces are a relatively new feature)
                • Complete lack of naming conventions
                • etc


                I've started moving to J2EE, and if nothing else the whole thing is a cleaner animal.
