+
+PHP 5 has been around for a very long time, and can be considered as the PHP version that defined where PHP wants to go in the future.
+
+With proper OOP, support for clojures and a steadily improving type system, it has become a very mature language.
+
+However, in the past 3 years, Facebook introduced HHVM, which became a major influence on PHP 7 and eventually brought a lot of improvements not only for the execution speed, but also with proper type hints and other features.
+
+Here at AOE, we have numerous PHP projects, and we often kept it backwards-compatible to make sure that it will run on older systems. This is comparable to the procedure most frameworks (Magento, OroPlatform and derived projects) use.
+
+Now, PHP 5 has reached its end--of-life, and it is time to discontinue the backqards-compatibility in favor of better and more stable applications.
+
+Even though we can use the PHP 7 runtime while being PHP 5-compatible, it is not considered good practice anymore, as we can now rely on the PHP 7 features and use all of its advantages.
+
+One of the major points PHP 7 supports is proper typehinting and return types (apart from PhpDocs), which makes [static analysis](https://extranet.aoe.com/confluence/display/knowledge/phan) much easier and can improve the overall code quality significantly.
