Question: PHP minimum version

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Is there a reason why minimum required PHP version is ~7.0? couldn't it be >=5.5?

I've just seen #29, I expand my question:

Is there any "technical" reason to force minimum PHP version to ~7.0? maybe >=5.6

IMHO I don't see the point in not wanting to support lets say a "legacy version" when it seems technically feasible (only scalar type hinting being used?) given PHP5.6 is still actively supported and will still be maintained for two more years

Not interested, and will likely bump to 7.1 as soon as we have any nullable
or void type declaration.

7.0 is stable, there are 0 reasons not to use it for new packages and
projects.

Security support is already something complex to take on: let's not turn it
into security+ legacy support.
