Lonely Programmer

Laravel Superhero

Laravel team can be composed of 2 devs.

I considered switching to other so-called cool techs, but every time I worked with them, I realized the feature I was building was already better and easier to implement in Laravel

The productivity in Laravel is really unmatched. The ecosystem is mature and very good to work with. Documentation is amazing 99% of the time. The project is maintained in an exemplar way (sometimes I think the Zig team got inspired by it).
The only “problem” is that it a PHP project but since v8 introduced types and Laravel came up with Octane, code quality and performance improved a LOT.
They deserve all the seemingly quiet success they have despite the world saying PhP iS dEaD.
