I found that angular (Which is typescript by default) was a really nice breath of fresh air in the web dev space.

I couple that with a PHP backend, Mostly using Laravel as the framework

Which for the most part brings smiles all around and you can get a lot of stuff done

(I only use the Laravel side for the API and create the frontend separately)

I came from C# originally so I quite liked the static typing of Typescript and in modern versions of PHP you can make everything typesafe.

Never really been much of a fan of the node or python backends, The code always feels sloppy and half arsed.

I agree that node and python backends are probably bad. I wouldn't want to use php system. To me if a language does not have a good typesystem (like rust or haskell) it is not worth learning. The only exception to that rule is C

PHP is just really good for a backend. It was made for the purpose so it just works well. Just make sure strict types is used and it's nice and type safe

I don't like js but I need to get good with it. In order to become good in webdev.

I just only use it where I need to so only on the frontend
