The beauty of PHP is that it is stateless and the end of the run, everything is freed. It is difficult to have memory leaks.

Personally, I like using Typescript/Javascript on both front end and backend, but I don’t look down at PHP backends at all. And it’s come a long way as a language.

I’ve been a fan of rolling your own stdlib as the semantics there are old and weird, but vscode tells you so who cares anymore.
