Far too many to list here. A small sample:

- https://github.com/mholt/caddy

Caddy is an HTTP/2 webserver written in Go that integrates with ACME and serves websites of TLS by default. It powers https://paragonie.com and manages our HTTPS certificates automatically.

- https://github.com/twigphp/Twig

Twig is one of the sane templating languages for PHP projects that I use extensively.

- https://github.com/composer/composer

Composer revolutionized PHP development.

A lot of the "PHP sucks" arguments focus on things that haven't been true about the language since 5.4 (or earlier), but one thing that truly did suck was dependency management (before composer came around).

Dependency management also sucks in other languages (and still sucks in those). I suspect that's why few used that as a criticism of PHP.

Libsodium: modern cryptography that you can likely find bindings for in your favorite programming language.
