> Improved performance: PHP 7 is up to twice as fast as PHP 5.6
This is from the new Zend Engine which uses PHPNG. I was unaware of this, but it sounds like a massive improvement. From http://www.zend.com/en/resources/php-7
>To put things in perspective – when PHPNG was published, the WordPress homepage required approx. 9.4 billion CPU instructions to execute. As of now – it requires only 2.6 billion – that’s 72% less!
I was also unfamiliar with anonymous classes, which sound nice for creating maintainable code bases as they are often described as "reducing clutter."
