Inspiration & Acknowledgements

Mago stands on the shoulders of giants. Our design and functionality are heavily inspired by pioneering tools in both the Rust and PHP ecosystems.

Inspirations:

  • Clippy: For its comprehensive linting approach.
  • OXC: A major inspiration for building a high-performance toolchain in Rust.
  • Hakana: For its deep static analysis capabilities.

Acknowledgements:

We deeply respect the foundational work of tools like PHP-CS-Fixer, Psalm, PHPStan, and PHP_CodeSniffer. While Mago aims to offer a unified and faster alternative, these tools paved the way for modern PHP development.
