Anybody else feeling that strict typing and long var names are not worth all the visual overload?

Example: https://github.com/wikimedia/parsoid/blob/master/src/Parsoid...

This is how I would write the function definition:

    function html2wikitext($config, $html, $options = [], $data = null)

This how Wikimedia did it:

    public function html2wikitext(
        PageConfig $pageConfig, string $html, array $options = [],
        ?SelserData $selserData = null
    ): string

I see this "strictness over readability" on the rise in many places and I think it is a net negative.

Not totally sure, but this seems to be the old JS function definition:

https://github.com/abbradar/parsoid/blob/master/lib/parse.js...

A bit cryptic and it suffers from the typical promise / async / callback / nesting horror so common in the Javascript world:

    _html2wt = Promise.async(function *(obj, env, html, pb)
