I am very happy that they added:

* Lambda Functions and Closures

It will be interesting to me how my php coding style might totally change with this addition.

Namespaces.. I don't know.. they are probably usefull for big projects, libraries/modules but a lot of these Java like features IMHO are a bloat in a dynamic language like PHP.

I remember when I started learning PHP after Javascript, I didn't like going from a dot to a -> I remember thinking that everything else uses a dot, why not PHP ?
Strong with this one, the sudo is.

Same here. One keystroke as opposed to three - no competition.
I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

couldn't agree more, not using . is really unnecesarry difference from all other c-like languages.

I guess it doesn't use it because it uses it for string concatenation $a.$b.. but that is an unusual use of character also.
