Why we need multi-line short closures in PHP

Read Original

This technical article discusses the need for multi-line short closures (auto-capturing multi-statement closures) in PHP, as proposed in an RFC for PHP 8.1. It explains the limitations of current single-line arrow functions, illustrates the proposed syntax with code examples, and addresses skepticism about the feature by highlighting the elegant symmetry it would bring to PHP's closure system.
