> The defacto package manager, Composer, is also world class.

Composer suddenly got good, didn't it! Composer 1.x was one of my pain points I think.

I can't think of many things that really bug me much anymore.

Null coalescing operators and named parameters are the kinds of things that make me happy.

I also adore Laravel (and particularly Lighthouse).

But what I really like about PHP is the humility and maturity of the whole endeavour. It's really typified by Rasmus Lerdorf who openly critiques his own abilities and seeks out smart people.



Lighthouse is an hidden gem. I moved some projects from Node/Typescript to Laravel/Lighthouse after discovering it.
