"Laravel -- The Return of PHP"
That's either a title for an epic-type heroic sequel or a horror movie, depending on how you feel about PHP.
Either way, IT'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK.
I mean if this is coming back, oooook... ;))
Laravel, php - Worldwide, 2004 - present - g.co/trends/XaZtx

We have a winner!
barely heard about it... Guess this will put it even more apart from other terms :))
hmm, interesting, I do know a number of Laravel devs here in Ghana and in Nigeria as well.
wonder how PHP is doing tho, cause google search trends are going down for it...
Laravel has been gaining popularity in Mexico in the last two years. There are more and more devs, as Laravel is PHP dev well done
I was just about to say it! Well done! 👏
Hint: Here is this technology's Google search trend over time.
I'd also say: This technology is not as universally popular as some others, but mainstream enough that a dedicated pocket could tilt the scales on our site. And I've definitely noticed a fair amount of users of this tech on dev.to.
I'll also add that, while this tech is always top 15-20, its position at number 1 for this time period is kind of an outlier.
Another hint: It's a web framework.
Guesses are closer after this hint. I was surprised by this answer, though as I mentioned, it's always fairly popular.
I think you searched the wrong thing haha.
