Deprecation warnings should contain suggestions for alternatives.

The suggestions are also deprecated

Or don’t support all the features

I feel like in android, the alternatives are always soooo long and tedious to implement

Rust afaik does that too

PHP does that. I think a few others too.

Or maybe it was my IDE. I don't remember. Not a issue I deal with frequently.

My assumption is that php itself is deprecated so they don't bother with warnings.

What if the suggestions have warnings like "experimental" or "unstable"?

This is me right now, constantly thinking about how to implement a thing I'm working on. Even in bed I wake up and think about it. Lols.

I had to make a function called mysql_query() to get some old code back online. Twist the knife for me.
