Jim Winstead on Nostr: In the early days of #PHP, I had to argue against the type conversion of strings to ...
In the early days of #PHP, I had to argue against the type conversion of strings to numbers not interpreting it using the '0x' hex and '0' (octal) syntaxes. I wish I'd considered scientific notation.
(I think this would have been around PHP/FI to PHP 3, and was on the non-archived core list.)
Does #PHPStan have a "comparing strings with == isn't safe" rule?
