Same here. Sure, PHP in 2020 is a mostly passable language. But then next to it you have Java/Kotlin/Scala, Go, Clojure, Node w/ TypeScript, even Elixir is pretty awesome.

Though, to be honest, I'd probably use PHP over Node even with TypeScript because the Node ecosystem is such garbage.

You just have to really like Laravel, I guess, to choose PHP in 2020. Which is totally fair. I haven't used Laravel, but people do rave about it.
