phanalist VS ext-php-rs

Phanalist needs a way to detect when we are in the function's scope with the name tooComplex(). With pattern matching, it is super easy to detect if the statement is either: if,else,etc.. The first statement that I want to match for is class Index{ and from there, we will continue down the tree. If you think the same way as I do you know that I will be using recursion to calculate the cyclomatic complexity. After we have matched the scope of the tooComplex() function.

In the following paragraph, we will see how phanalist can calculate the cyclomatic complexity of the scope of a method. Before creating Phanalist, I always kept the cyclomatic complexity of the methods I wrote in my mind. And if I see that the complexity is higher than 10. I always try to refactor the method, making it easier to understand.

I'm trying to write a static analyzer for PHP. It's written in RUST and it's a personal project of mine to learn rust and also make a FAST static analyzer for PHP projects that are big. I started with this project because the current static analyzers in the PHP ecosystem are slow.

It would be nice if there were people that would like to contribute. If you want to learn rust and you have PHP experience you are welcome to help.

I started with Rust a while ago. It's a beautiful language. My problem with it was the problem space it's good at addressing. I ended up not only trying to learn Rust but also wholly new paradigms related to writing low-level code, libraries, or even trying to write a PHP extension in Rust (that was way before https://github.com/davidcole1340/ext-php-rs). I learned a lot about PHP and Rust/C/PHP interoperability ;) But the learning curve was steep. In my opinion, it isn't easy to learn more than one thing simultaneously. A new language is enough. If, on top of that, you need to learn entirely new paradigms - it can be cumbersome.

The PHP <-> Rust bindings are provided by https://github.com/Nicelocal/ext-php-rs/ (our fork of https://github.com/davidcole1340/ext-php-rs with a bunch of UX improvements :).

php-tokio's integrates the https://revolt.run event loop with the https://tokio.rs event loop; async functionality is provided by the two event loops, in combination with PHP fibers through revolt's suspension API (I could've directly used the PHP Fiber API to provide coroutine suspension, but it was a tad easier with revolt's suspension API (https://revolt.run/fibers), since it also handles the base case of suspension in the main fiber).

Real chads write PHP websites and extend it with Rust
