Your welcome.
PHP and JS/TS are SWE ghettos. The improvements that TypeScript React, Laravel or Drizzle (smart SQL builder for TS) give are great but none can fix the underlying problems that a really shitty programming language results in.
I used to really love Ruby. But I now believe there's even better that's also totally free.
Rust is really nice!
Kotlin, OCaml and Haskell also have some amazing "doing it right" cultures, that leverage "stronger typing" techniques.
It’s amazing how much better major languages could be. They’re slowly getting better - I started out using PHP 5 at work, and the improvements since then (eg PHP 8.4) are HUGE. I’ve used modern C++ extensively as well.
I love Rust more than either.
If you like Ruby, Loco RS is really neat as a(n immature) Ruby on Rails replacement.
It's easy to love Rust (OCaml, Kotlin, ...) more.

Nah, only for very small throwaway script. And even for them I prefer Kotlin nowadays (stronger typing, better IDE integration, etc.)
