We are very happy to announce that starting this year, Nikita Popov, a well-known long-time PHP ecosystem contributor, is joining JetBrains to work with the PhpStorm team! The focus of his work – improving the PHP ecosystem – will remain the same. And of course, we are excited to explore what becomes possible with such collaboration between the IDE and runtime experts.
Nikita is the author of generators, variadic functions and argument unpacking, AST as an internal structure in PHP, engine exceptions, uniform variable syntax, and many other PHP contributions.
He worked with Dmitry Stogov
