Wrote PHP for years. I miss it.

Sure it's full of wtfs and as consistent at French on a good day.

But as a business language, it's as twisted as the business needs its code to be, I found it to be a great match. And there is literally nothing you can't get Laravel to do. It's that good.

Now working with other stacks, most colleagues' features are "wow wow wow slow down this is a big deal" ... In PHP/Laravel, it ain't.

PHP is fast enough, powerful enough and comfortingly weird enough. It reminds you that computers weren't that serious.
