Changes you would love to see in PHP? (self.php)

To lighten up some discussion here, I would like to ask what features or changes you would love to see in future PHP versions? We know that in recent versions a lot of nice adjustments were added, but I bet most of us dreams for more.

I personally would love to see types on inline variables, at first even not strict. However, I don’t know if it’s remotely possible with how currently the language is implemented.

Honestly I'm pretty happy with PHP 8 from a feature set standpoint.

Threading would be nice but generally I want long running tasks to run outside of the HTTP stack anyway so that's less of an issue.

I wish wish the dollar signs and semicolons were optional. And I wish -> was replaced with a single character that's easy to type. Like maybe the . key. PHP is a great language with pretty terrible syntax.
