<li><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/swissspidy/" class="mention"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>swissspidy</a><strong> </strong>shared a previous question from <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/spacedmonkey/" class="mention"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>spacedmonkey</a>, regarding the use of static variables in core for in-memory caching, and whether the object caching API with a non-persistent cache group might be a better alternative. Benefits noted included cache invalidation capabilities and improved testing scenarios.<br />In the original discussion thread:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/flixos90/" class="mention"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>flixos90</a> questioned the practical advantages of cache invalidation for non-persistent caches.</li>
<li><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/spacedmonkey/" class="mention"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>spacedmonkey</a> clarified it would allow developers to optionally enable persistent caching, improve testability by clearing caches between tests, and align with the intended usage of the object cache API.</li>
<li><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/flixos90/" class="mention"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>flixos90</a> agreed that while making these caches persistent could introduce issues, improved testing practices were indeed a valid benefit.</li>
</ul>
