Using #PHP arrays as pseudo-objects is almost never the right answer. They're less self-documenting, slower, worse on memory, and more bug prone.

Any super smart #php folks here know how to mock built-in functions like ‘glob’?
I know I could wrap calls to it in a class that I could mock, but I hate adding code just for a test.
Please boost!

Hmm it seems Junie is evolving, it has found my non-default PHPUnit config file location, and has started getting into segfaults:

In May, I'll be giving what will probably be the first ever PHP 8.6 talk: Piping Hot PHP.
8.5 isn't even cool yet, but 8.6 already has some hot new features. Combining 8.5's pipe operator with the new partial function application capabilities in 8.6 should give us a whole new way to think about structuring code!
