We don't need runtime type checks

Read Original

The article argues that runtime type checking in PHP is a debugging tool, not a safety net, and that static analysis can prevent runtime type errors. It proposes a paradigm shift where PHP could support features like generics with syntax only, leaving type checking to static analyzers, eliminating runtime performance impact and enabling new possibilities.
