You’re right. Psalm has been a god send on the project I’m working on.

Unfortunately, it’s taking far too long for Laravel to catch up so parts of its API are a black hole for types.

Especially things like request input, which returns a union of string and array as opposed to using a conditional return type.

You end up with assertion soup every time you touch Laravel so over time the project uses less and less of it.

A well-typed framework and set of libraries would be very nice.
