In the previous article "Review: PHP Highlights 2020", I introduced to you the discussion of several well-known PHP experts and experts on the biggest highlights and disappointments of PHP in 2020.

Outlook: PHP Trends for 2021

So in this article, I will continue to introduce to you what tools, frameworks and functions PHP experts like to use in 2020; and their opinions on PHP trends in 2021 the opinion of.

What tool, framework or feature are you particularly grateful for in 2021 and why?

Ralf Geschke (software developer and PHP veteran):

It's not directly related to PHP, but web applications have happened in recent years changes, so I have to nominate Vue.js here. After the first version of the JavaScript library, I see Vue.js as representing the next generation of JavaScript frameworks that not only make front-end development easier, but also happily break away from the back-end.

Especially on Vue.js, I appreciate the openness regarding using official extensions, as well as the possibility of integrating other JavaScript libraries. Last but not least, PHP is destined to provide a proper backend.

Florian Simeth (WordPress Developer):

Nowadays I personally prefer to use WordPress rather than using PHP. React (i.e. JavaScript) is being used more and more. Of course, usability is also becoming increasingly important. However, it should not be forgotten that web applications will become more complex in the future.

Thomas Eiling (PHP developer Symfony and Shopware):

Using phpstan we have been able to introduce another automatic mechanism that Another layer of security has been introduced to keep our own code quality high within the B2B suite. We've had 100% code coverage and over 90% mutation scores for a long time. Here, phpstan perfectly joins another tool.

It cannot be separated: What should not be missing in 2021 when working with PHP?

Ralf Geschke (software developer and PHP veteran):

At the development environment level: Visual Studio Code and my classic development server VM . I was still the same there.

Deployment: Docker, and soon Kubernetes.

Maintaining fun and curiosity requires using new language patterns. This includes working on new language features, new versions of your favorite frameworks, and looking for breakthroughs in other programming languages ​​or technologies.

Florian Simeth (WordPress Developer):

I'm looking forward to PHP 8.0 and the JIT (just in time) compiler. This could open the door to machine learning, 3D rendering and data analysis on web servers.

boom! This is so popular! Version 8.0 won't appear until 2021. I'm even more excited about what's to come in 2021.

My favorite development tool (PhpStorm) can keep up with the rapid development of PHP, which is also good.

Therefore, switching to the currently popular Visual Studio Code will not be my choice in 2021.

Thomas Eiling (PHP developer Symfony and Shopware):

There are two things that are irreplaceable for me when working with PHP.

First of all, for me, PhpStorm is the best PHP IDE out there, no choice. Regular updates always include new features that make daily work easier.

For me, the second point is all the tools that allow me to automatically inspect the source code, which obviously includes tools like phpunit, deptrac, phpstan, php-cs-fixer, php-code-sniffer, etc.

To all the maintainers, you do a great job!
