I use it for my backend stuff. Robust, fast, safe, well-supported. Has all the right bells and whistles.

I never liked the language, but it does what it says on the tin.

I have found, in the project currently under development, that LLMs give very good PHP code. Better than mine, and I’ve been using it for 25 years. I don’t mind admitting that. PHP isn’t my main language (Swift is, and I’m still better than the LLM, for that).
