var_dump($code, $message);
});
$x= null; var_dump($x->method());
echo "Aliven";

Null Coalesce Operator (??)
<?php
$username = $_GET['user'] ?? 'nobody';
$username = isset($_GET['user']) ? $_GET['user'] : 'nobody';
// Method/function call
$model = Model::get($id) ?? $default_model;
if (($model = Model::get($id)) === NULL) { $model =
$default_model; }
// Chained
$x = NULL; $y = NULL; $z = 3; var_dump($x ?? $y ?? $z);

PHP Language Specification

Open & Public Specifications
Competions++

(Most) Focus on Speed

SPEED is NOT SCALE

SPEED is UX

Scale is Server Side
Architecture (Apps, Ops, Net, …)

My code sucks.

Yours too.

Steroids++

So?
