Uncertainty, doubt, and static analysis

Read Original

The article discusses the evolution of PHP's type system and the growing adoption of static analysis tools like PHPStan and Psalm. The author argues that while some developers resist stricter typing due to verbosity, it ultimately reduces uncertainty about variable types, null safety, and function behavior, leading to a significant productivity boost and more maintainable code.
