I am very open minded about languages apart from one, honestly I don't know why, PHP has a reputation mostly due to security and the reason for that is it was used alot! And the biggest fish are the best targets. The other thing that bugs me is that I don't see it like C or Java or Rust or what have you, it's home turf is on the server, that's not the case for more general purpose lower level languages. The other thing that bothers me is that PHP exolved from a templating language, it's like seeing pug or ejs or other becoming a fully fledged language way out of the scope of it's original purposes.

I do like the branding and Laravel thought, I must be very shallow 🤣
