I've been receiving fantastic feedback on the PHP 8.0 Announcement landing page ( https://www.php.net/releases/8.0 ), and I just wanted to extend a big Thank You to all the folks at JetBrains for making this suggestion and putting forth the work on the initial four translations (en, pt_BR, de, and ru). This has helped spread the excitement around this release, and I hope we continue the tradition next year! -Sara P.S. - It's especially encouraging that our community stepped up immediately to provide two more translations (fr and zh; plus I happen to know my wife is working on Spanish as I type this).

I really like this page as well! It will definitely help improve PHP's reputation and adoption. I'd like to suggest a couple improvements, though: 1/ Match expression: The new match is similar to switch and has the following features:
> (...) > *+ Match throws an UnhandledMatchError if no match is found*
2/ Nullsafe operator: Instead of null check conditions, you can now use a chain of calls with the

IMO, "fails" could imply that an unknown property, or a property that evaluates to a non-object is acceptable. Sorry if these suggestions come a bit late, now that translations have landed. — Benjamin On Fri, 27 Nov 2020 at 16:40, Sara Golemon <pollita@php.net> wrote:

Probably we could expand that to be the main frontpage (with some more generic examples isntead of PHP 8 specific ones) telling what PHP is etc. johannes
