The kind of worn out ecosystem is my main dig with PHP. A couple parts of the ecosystem are outstanding, especially laravel, though laravel’s DId internals are a maze. (side note: Not a fan of DI being more or less required - it’s necessary for testing but the pattern is just a mess. Lack of static typing makes PHP kind of mediocre at DI, too) Outside of that there’s a ton of abandonware or just generally unmaintained libraries, though, and daemon/batch style processing is a tremendously common requirement that’s better served by other stacks.
