@pollita @mattbrowndev @Girgias @nielsdos Right, that's nikic/php-ast, effectively. The main downside being that it's not fault-tolerant (which I believe nikic/PHP-Parser is to a degree), and also not backwards compatible with older PHP syntax.

@jaapio @Crell @phpdoc When using the shorthand => for set, the result is implicitly assigned to the backing value, which will make the property backed, allowing the specification of a default value. Essentially, it's translated from `set => $this->temperature = $value;` to `set { $this->temperature2 = $this->temperature = $value; }`.

@Crell @jaapio @phpdoc It doesn't. By using the shorthand you're implicitly assigning to the backing value.

@Crell @nyamsprod Not really. get_class_vars() gives you the default value of properties, but virtual properties don't have default values (or rather, don't have values at all). If you make it backed, it, get_class_vars() will return it.

Announcing the pre-release of the PHP Installer for Extensions (PIE) 🎉

Think of it as Composer for PHP extensions: they’re distributed via @packagist and handled similar to regular PHP packages.

Check it out and share your feedback 🐘💜
