Hi All,

For a while now I've been wishing PHP had (at least the option to
enable) strict types. It would help a massive amount in BIG
applications, and maybe start to taper the millions of lines of crap
code that's out there.

Generally speaking, PHP is a scripting language. Scripting languages are great for one-off projects and small programs, but become unwieldy in big applications, larger than a few thousand lines. For larger projects, I would suggest Java, which has strict typing and encourages object-oriented programming and modularization.
