Not to be overly dismissive, but this article is just... weird?

The arguments for why switch are pointless, no mention of the actual benefits. Statements like "Hopefully, JIT was integrated into PHP 7", and a very special explanation of compilation and jit. It makes me not trust anything written here.

The person writing this has no idea about what he's talking about, so you're not the only one finding it untrustworthy.

Seriously, how can a person call himself a "PHP guru" and at the same time tell people that it's faster as a result of JIT compilation when PHP doesn't use JIT compilation? Amazing.
