Keeps the community engaged. Looking at their list, seems solid. I have high expectations for Mago specially. Currently, PHP static analyzers are good/great. But speed can be an issue in large codebases: 1) Saif Eddin Gmati, who’s building a very promising new linter and static analyzer for PHP in Rust: Mago. 2) Markus Staab, who’s involved in tons of existing open-source projects like PHPStan, Rector, and PHPUnit. 3) Kyrian Obikwelu, who’s actively exploring AI and MCP possibilities in PHP. 4) Sjon Hortensius, who’s responsible for 3v4l.org, an online shell for PHP that’s very popular within the PHP community. +1 spot open
