    Why is it fashionable to hate curly braces - I think readability is much better served with explicit block closing tags…

    And why do we hate type declarations? I don’t mind being able to omit type declarations, it’s handy for quick and dirty stuff - but strict type checking is a powerful tool… so much so that PHP has put a lot of effort into adding it after the fact.

      There’s type declarations and checking in Bend and HVM, it’s just Bend has type inferrance. I personally don’t mind either way, although for scripting I do like mutable types like in Python, it makes things easier to write, at the cost of needing to know exactly what you’re doing or cleaning up bugs.
