Hi, I'm munk-a. It's good to meet you!

I really enjoy PHP because it's easy to prototype in, there are a plethora of highly useful libraries for it, it has quite a few mature frameworks[1] and the language syntax is quite powerful.

1. Laravel gets a lot of attention but I'm a huge fan of Zend/Laminas.

I've tried to leave, I've explored outside the relationship. I've dealt with thorns and rough edges. But I've grown, the language and ecosystem have grown and it's been _wonderful_. I truly consider _not leaving_ the PHP ecosystem when I gave an earnest effort to explore elsewhere one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I love to build cool shit and PHP makes that _ridiculously_ easy.
