PHPBench VS php-generics

That was my first thought too. I used https://github.com/phpbench/phpbench in the past and it has a warmup feature where the code will run a couple times before the real benchmarking start

I used phpbench to measure performance. I think one of the big differences between all the solutions is the type checking. So I decided to try measure it. How much faster will code with/without type checking?

use phpbench

Hi. I'm the author of the library which brings generics into PHP like TypeScript https://github.com/mrsuh/php-generics. Libraries like this have a few big problems to start using them freely:

I used this knowledge to create the PHP generics library.

Hi! I don't think so. Is used this library to translate generics syntax into regular PHP syntax. It's not equal to real PHP generics (like Hack did). IDE doesn't support PHP generic syntax yet. You can read about it here.

If you are only using simple collections you can use array - it is very fast and requires little memory. PHP doesn't support generic syntax and IDE can't make hints about the type of objects in a collection (yet), but if you want PHP to do type checks at runtime you can test the php-generics library.

A few months ago I created a PHP generics library with monomorphic generics. Today I released version 1.2.0 with type erase generics.

This approach has a big memory effect. PHP doesn't support native generics, but you can test monomorphized generics with my library.
