Why is it fashionable to hate curly braces - I think readability is much better served with explicit block closing tags...

And why do we hate type declarations? I don't mind being able to omit type declarations, it's handy for quick and dirty stuff - but strict type checking is a powerful tool... so much so that PHP has put a lot of effort into adding it after the fact.

tbh i have no problem with curly brackets either. even though my first language was freebasic (!), i have worked more with curly bracket languages and actually find them quite useful, if not powerful.
