demo VS Stringy

Symfony, the one and only. I much prefer other languages like TS/C# but it is because of Symfony, I can tolerate lack of generics, decorators, type aliases... Arrow for methods doesn't annoy me that much. You can see some controller code from its demo here. It is using attributes, a lot, and not just for routing but also for autowiring scalars and tagged services.

I made two screens from symfony/demo and paste into README.md

clone this repository https://github.com/symfony/demo

Take a look at modern PHP like this file.

I've created a Symfony 6 based Application that can serve as an Enterprise Architecture reference for anyone who's planning to build Large Scale Applications with Symfony. It uses a similar 'Blog' theme as the official Symfony Demo and can be found here.

For strings I use Stringy (https://github.com/danielstjules/Stringy) for arrays I built my own Collection library, but pretty sure there are plenty in packagist (https://packagist.org/)

A number of libraries likely already exist to do these kinds of things, for example with strings, Laravel has a string class which has an of() method, Statamic has a modify/modifier class, there are probably other projects or libraries, but I know that Statamic does leverage https://github.com/danielstjules/Stringy via this fork https://github.com/statamic/Stringy

Do you mean a library like these? * https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/string.html * https://github.com/danielstjules/Stringy
