## What Jamie wrote

I still like to call PHP "the peoples language". There is so much PHP out there, and it is still one of the first languages many learn. I’m glad that it continues to evolve in good ways. 

> PHP 8.0 is a major update of the PHP language. It contains many new features and optimizations including named arguments, union types, attributes, constructor property promotion, match expression, nullsafe operator, JIT, and improvements in the type system, error handling, and consistency.
