Hello everyone,

PHP comes up here from time to time, and I've noticed the discussion is usually based on what the language looked like 5+ years ago. Since I work with it every day and have genuinely come to enjoy it, I wrote a short article recapping where it actually stands today.

It covers modern deployment (FrankenPHP, Docker), software architecture (modular monoliths, the Symfony kernel, agents), the type system and its tooling (PHPStan, PHP CS Fixer), and the state of concurrency (ReactPHP, Swoole, the True Async RFC).

Let me know if I missed anything, or if you'd like me to go deeper on a specific topic!
