new MyClass()->method() without parentheses
This RFC allows to omit parentheses around the new expression when constructor arguments' parentheses are present.
$highlighter = (new Highlighter())->withGutter(); $highlighter = new Highlighter()->withGutter();
It also works with accessing properties, constants, etc.
new MyClass()::CONSTANT; new MyClass()::$staticProperty; new MyClass()::staticMethod(); new MyClass()->property; new MyClass()->method(); new MyClass()();
Better readability; less code is better code
Agree
better readability
Less characters without loss of readability is always good.
Looks cool. Hope it does not have weird problems and will not affect performance.
Readable and clean
It is very annoying to wrap new class into parentheses.
Yeah finally. its necessary
This syntax, will make the code more readable, clean.
This is very clean
I love it, it's cleaner
It is really confusing to read since having the space breaks the way PHP handles spaces in all other places. It is incoherent.
I honestly don't really care about that small sugar, but I lean more towards yes than no, so ship it
Parentheses do not add anything to a human to understand what is going on.
Since PHP does not require curly braces in strings most of the time, we can get rid of those parentheses too (when they are not required by the language anymore).
The absence of parentheses leads to a decrease in clarity of intent

Interface Default Methods improves backwards compatibility when changing interfaces, but also add a way to have multi-inheritance in PHP.
This RFC proposes a way to have multi-line short closures — closures that don't need explicit use statements, but can still have multiple lines and a return statement.
