This is pretty awesome, I've been migrating from C# and NodeJS back to PHP and it's awesome. Want to know why?
- Everything is either built-in or can be enabled from an OFFICIAL repository (like functions for bc,xml,etc). No more trusting sketchy npm packages or having to pull in a ton of dependencies that might stop working some day.
- It's so fast and elegant to consume a (SOAP or REST) webservice. Visual Studio insists on creating tons of files, obscure web.config settings and other misc. stuff. PHP handles this in a couple of lines.
- Development feels natural, every file can be a single class if you want and there are plenty of highly matured frameworks available.
I estimate I've slashed development time in half compared to C#, less bugs and less security issues (verified through two independent code auditors). Even large projects are easier to work on in PHP compared to C#
