In the context of PHP, the package source is put under vendor/ and in my IDE is automatically indexed. It's very easy to view the source code. You can even experiment with the packages directly, by editing the files in vendor&#x2F

It was a great move for PHP to take inspiration from Java. It gave people a recognisable syntax and structure, to run things on PHP's shared-nothing architecture, which is arguably its real strength. Similarly it was a great move for S

This is great news. Wind turbines make a lot of sense for the windy UK. The problem of energy storage when the wind isn't blowing, remains. The energy storage section in "Sustainable Energy without the Hot Air" [1] gives a go
