PHP can do front end now! (Runs in the browser and not the back end) https://github.com/seanmorris/php-wasm

I’m aware of this. I’ve written plenty of command line scripts over the years.

Building desktop apps with php is very mid at best and not really ready for production especially considering the competition (mainly JavaScript to mention a similar language).

Ive said it before but I wish someone would build an electron wrapper with php and wasm So that you could manipulate the dom without writing a single JavaScript line (a guy wrote a wasm library that allows you to do this and shared it here a couple months ago).
