Your post didn't target php so, OK, you've not mentioned one of the best tool for PHP : Rectorphp getrector.com/.

Rector will scan your code (without running it) and will suggest tons of improvements, new way of writing code.

One of best open source tool I ever know

I have abandoned PHP around five years ago :)
I don't have a lot of recommendations.
For me PHP is a dying language, it exists only because of Wordpress.

If you can give me one reason why I would use PHP compared to the alternative on a new project (judging the language, not projects like Laravel, WordPress or Drupal)

❌ Slow
❌ Hard installation

I also use WordPress as a CMS for my website. But it's not because of the "language" it's because it's a good project.

Tired of “the best” inline code editors. Yawn . Give me a valid reason why they are different other than they have sponsored you. Don’t mention GitHub copilot or I’ll reach out and smack you

Every developer building web apps with less than 100K users says "PHP is slow", "PHP does not support async". Web dev is now a cult.
