Cargo for Rust does a lot of stuff to make everyday life easier without needing to branch out to many third party solutions, configure them, somehow make it all work together, etc. Same goes for Deno. You can lint code, format code, run tests, compile to static binaries, check code coverage, and so forth. I’m wondering if there is anything like that for PHP, and if not, would people find something like that useful in the PHP ecosystem?

I find having to set up a Docker with PHPUnit and coverage checking and so forth quite tiresome for each project, and so something convenient like that would be nice to have. Perhaps it could even run with different PHP versions. It could make PHP also a little more accessible for people, or so I think at least. WDYT?
