Well php has strong typing built in now and they have been iterating on it every release. It's well ahead of native js. I can't imagine having any real complaints on using 8.x php for a back end these days.

I still dislike the constant $ and ->, today it just feels like extra typing. Otherwise I agree with you.
I'm with you. This is the only complaint I have about the language itself.
Trying to imagine php without $ and all I can think is... :o
