PHP Doesn't Suck Anymore
Debugging is pretty easy with something like Ray (https://myray.app/) or Laravel Herd (https://herd.laravel.com/, despite its name runs differnet php apps just fine).
When it coems to running different PHP versions, modern PHP development has largely moved to using Docker (ddev, for example: https://ddev.com/) for that, and there's plenty Docker images for old PHP versions so it's a non-issue. I'd also imagine it be difficult to get many other outdated programming languages via a package manager.
There's now the PHP Foundation, which while relatively new in its formation, has significantly boosted PHP development and I'd recommend donating if improving the language is important to you.

Announcing x-ray
I'm proud to announce the initial release of the spatie/x-ray package for Ray. The x-ray package provides a command-line utility that finds and displays all calls to ray(), rd(), and other functions from the spatie/ray family of packages. Currently, it only supports PHP projects.

Announcing x-ray
When first creating x-ray, I felt it was necessary to display an excerpt of the source code location where the call to ray() was found. Rather than roll my own solution, I extracted the excellent Snippet class from spatie/backtrace into a package. From there it was a simple matter of adding functionality for multi-line line selections and a few other minor changes. You can view the final permafrost-dev/code-snippets package and its documentation on Github.
