Inspiration

Mago is inspired by several tools and projects that have significantly contributed to the development community:

• Clippy: A collection of lints to catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code.
• OXC: A JavaScript toolchain written in Rust.
• php-rust-tools/parser: A PHP parser written in Rust, which influenced our parsing approach.
• slackhq/hakana: A static analysis tool for HackLang written in Rust, by the creator of Psalm.

These tools have inspired us and helped shape Mago's design and functionality.

Acknowledgements

We would like to acknowledge the following PHP tools that have greatly helped hundreds of thousands of PHP developers in their journey, ourselves included:

• PHP CS Fixer: A tool to automatically fix PHP Coding Standards issues.
• Psalm: A static analysis tool for finding errors in PHP applications.
• PHPStan: PHP Static Analysis Tool.
• PHP_CodeSniffer: Detects violations of a defined set of coding standards.

While Mago is intended to be a comprehensive toolchain that may eventually replace some of these tools, we deeply appreciate their contributions and the foundation they have built for the PHP community.
