I wasn't trying to credit the language. Just curious about the state of the ecosystem.
I had the displeasure of PHP being the first "programming language" I came across. Most of my knowledge was gleaned from w3schools and various web pages scattered around the web. I recall doing a lot of Googling while trying to figure out edge cases and such.

Is there anything like TypeScript or MoonScript for PHP? A source-to-source language that tries to mitigate the quirks and issues with the target language.

In this case, the test makes use of both xdotool and Nix's own testing library.
