   A REPL for PHP

   

   PHP is great, but you need to be a pretty decent developer to use it effectively.

   It has a rather nice interactive shell, https://psysh.org/ . I've built non-trivial, non-web systems in it.

   Concurrency 'within' the language isn't as nice as some alternatives, but the FCGI-style deployment is quite reliable and convenient in practice.

4. ray

   3 17 600 7.2 PHP

   Debug with Ray to fix problems faster (by spatie)

   

   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 I'd also imagine it be difficult to get many other outdated programming languages via a package manager.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.
