Exactly. The "shared nothing lifecycle" really lets the programmer (knowingly or unknowingly) embrace RESTful design. Too bad the language doesn't have strict typing like Java. Otherwise it'd be even more convenient and safer in my eyes.

PHP 7 actually has strict typing like java, but no generics.

It’s really interesting, last time I worked with PHP was a few years ago, then recently I wrote something in PHP 7, and it is a lot safer.

(But still no compile time type checking because there is no compile time).
