Stop posting adverts for your company. There are plenty of unbiased articles on PHP 8 out there.
I’ve really enjoyed these PHP 8 articles from Platform.sh. There’s a whole series: https://platform.sh/blog/2020/php-80-feature-focus-type-improvements/. Of course they’re good, because Larry Garfield wrote them. He’s been putting out great articles about PHP development for a long time.

I was a bit disappointed yesterday to see that Lando doesn’t support it yet, which makes it a little harder to try it out, so it’s great to see Platform.sh supporting PHP 8 immediately. It can be hard enough getting dependencies to support new versions (looking at you, Drupal modules), and having a hosts be slow to adoption is a problem we don’t need.
