In this episode, Benjamin and Matthew, talk with Marco Pivetta (ocramius) about:

• PHP 7.4's new preloading feature: what it is, how it works, the benefits and drawbacks of using it
• The speed differences between different versions of PHP (especially in 7.x)
• The difference between OPcache and Preloading
• How Composer's autoloader may soon be a thing of the past

Notable Quotes

Composer is the mother of all frameworks.

The (Composer) autoloader will gradually disappear.

You wouldn't build a house and not check it for 10 years. It should be the same for software projects.

Everything (in software development) is a trade-off.
