PHP will include a new pipe operator in its 8.5 release, allowing for cleaner and more readable code by chaining expressions. The operator resembles one found in F# and will enable partial function applications. The PHP team is also considering introducing compile-time generics, focusing on interfaces and abstract classes. Community feedback has been mixed regarding the potential limitations of this generic implementation. PHP remains prevalent in web development, powering over 70% of server-side websites, and the FrankenPHP app server has been officially adopted by the PHP Foundation.
