Was anyone else surprised to see Kbin being written in PHP?

Large parts of my particular departments .gov.uk stack are PHP. All modern (8.1+) using established frameworks and to be honest, it's a joy. It's quick to write, easy to understand and very easy to test. The write, run, debug cycle is also essentially instant; although I really enjoy using Go (another bit of the stack) being able to quickly iterate changes is something I absolutely miss when I'm using it.
Laravel + Livewire is some sort of dark voodoo magic. I can write only PHP and have a functioning SPA with push updates and all sorts.
Have to admit I have more good experiences with .gov.uk portals than bad. Hope we can continue to streamline more government services online. I'll say a little thanks to PHP + Laravel whenever a .gov.uk service works for me again.
The gov.uk portals are by far one of the best any government has to offer. Speaking from personal experience.
