Why we need multi-line short closures in PHP
PHP 8.1 is already taking shape quite well, yet there’s one feature I’d love to see added, that’s still being discussed: multi-line short closures. The RFC calls them “Auto-capturing multi-statement closures” but I hope you don’t mind me using the somewhat shorter name.
If you’re on an actively supported PHP version, you already know about short closures — a.k.a. “arrow functions”. And, most importantly, one of their biggest drawbacks: they only support one-line expressions, which are also used as the return value.
The multi-line short closures RFC by Nuno and Larry aims to solve that problem, in — what I think is — an elegant way.
