About using print_r...
Recently tried this: https://github.com/chevere/xr It's pretty good I think.

Introducing chevere/xr debugger
👏 https://github.com/chevere/xr/commit/eb3b820e9ae8239ea1d9f4d1057e4a15b690d80e
I develop this on my free time, you can see what's next here: https://github.com/chevere/xr/issues
I've released a lightweight PHP debugger based on ReactPHP. I'm still working on it, but it already does a basic feature set. Give it a try at https://github.com/chevere/xr
Yeah at some time I will have to split these (target 1.0.0). 👉 https://github.com/chevere/xr/issues/34

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "Ray"
I hope installing spatie/global-ray (and Ray itself) will be a more pleasant experience.

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.

What made you decide to be a PHP developer vs other languages?
Seems to me you just may have stumbled on a not-ideal PHP gig. The entire Laravel ecosystem is pretty awesome, there are a lot better tools for debugging than xdebug (https://myray.app/), and honestly, the amount of horrific spaghetti JS I've had to navigate is in multiple times worse, and in bigger amounts than any PHP related spaghetti I've had to deal with. But I do agree that for a newcomer it's hard to find good PHP products and tools since the information is so saturated on the internet, the only way you really find good quality things is by following the top guys on Twitter or so.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing xr and ray you can also consider the following projects:
ray-proxy - a proxy for the Ray app to allow debugging of payloads
python-devtools - Dev tools for python
backtrace - A better backtrace
laravel-ray - Debug with Ray to fix problems faster in Laravel apps
x-ray - Scan source code for calls to ray() and related calls.
app - The old version of Buggregator, which uses Laravel framework, is no longer being actively developed. The new beta version, built with Spiral framework, is now available at https://github.com/buggregator/spiral-app and offers significant improvements in performance and stability, as well as a lighter docker image size of around 300mb.
