Care to point folks to an example of a more modern PHP script that shows off improvements since the state of things in 2005?

    Laravel is a great framework and has really helped push the community towards writing tests and producing packages that can be easily shared via composer. Of course Symfony has a big part to play in Laravel's success to. 2013 was a good year for PHP. Most of the time when I hear people complaining about the language, it's as if things haven't changed since 2005. There's a lot of horrible, badly written spaghetti code out there in PHP that doesn't exist in other languages, but there's also probably much more decent code written in PHP and I think that trend is only set to continue.

      The only thing I think I don't like about Laravel is that it doesn't use Twig as the default template engine.

        Fully agree. Check out twig bridge though.

          Already using it. Autoescape and a function whitelist are beautiful things...
