Support of PHP versions?
stephanvierkant opened this issue · comments
I see this library still supports PHP 7.1, which is End of Life (EOL) for a long time. Even 7.3 is EOL as of today.
What's the policy about PHP support? The only supported versions are 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1
In my opinion libraries should drop support of PHP versions that are end of life, because it makes contributing to this library much easier.

Doesn't make a lot of sense if your features don't rely on new features, and it supports old versions then it does :)
When it's no trouble don't drop support many people are still using 5.6 even. Think about the majorities.
About 1% is using PHP 7.1: https://packagist.org/packages/spatie/async/php-stats#1.5. More people are using PHP 8.1.
New features (such as typed properties, return types, parameter types) aren't required and don't bring new capabilities, but they improve readability/maintainability of code.
