Next on my PHP wishlist are nested properties. This idea is less realistic than others, it's more me thinking out loud. I don't have a good syntax proposal for this, and I'm not even sure it's the best solution for my problem. But it's the best I've come up with so far.
Is it weird to have a favorite operator? Well, the pipe operator |> is mine. Not only does it look cool, it opens a world of possibilities for better code.
Unfortunately, it's not available in any of the languages I use on a daily basis. There are proposals to add it to PHP and JavaScript, but we're not there yet. I'd like to expand on why I think the pipe operator would be a valuable addition to the language from a PHP developer's perspective.
