Easily upgrade to Laravel 11 with Laravel Shift 

Just so you know, it's not required. You can do it manually by following the upgrade guide if you'd like: laravel.com/docs/11.x/upgrade Totally disagree with the rest of your statements. 😃

Any update of a software needs an effort. React needs an effort too, also not everything is backwards compatible. So, by "tiny vassal states" you mean MERN, right? Because PHP represents 50% of the internet :)

@@vectorialpxPHP and Laravel is so old but it failed to get corporate support, and there are so many funny syntax; easy to start to hard to master. And framework changes so quickly so developers have to make effort for it; it says to buy laravel shift to upgrade the larger projects; it is not good; I did laravel for 2 years; still I and still confused with include and yield; i have been doing MERN for 6 months; simple concept of IMPORT; that very logical; MERN quite difficult to start but easy to master; de structuring in JS; oh what a nice functionality. PHP should die soon, web dev; front end and backend done just by MERN; Javascript; C and python should do other computational works. PHP , ruby, Haskell, R, swift, perl, go erlag, MATLAB what the hell are they ; they are making the life of the developers very very complex . They should go; there should be 2 or 3 programming languages in the world; and it is happening. LARAVEL should have embraced nodejs. then it is ready to die.
