Fennec: An Early-Stage Oxidized Toolchain for PHP 🦊 🐘 🦀

Hey r/rust 👋

I’m excited to share Fennec, a new PHP toolchain inspired by Rust's tooling and philosophies. Fennec brings the robustness and developer-centric design of the Rust ecosystem to PHP, with features like linting, formatting, and static analysis.

After a couple of months of development, I’m open-sourcing Fennec. It’s super early, and all it can do right now is basic linting with only a few lint plugins and rules implemented. It’ll take a long time for it to take full shape, but you can try and test it now. The long-term goal is for Fennec to become a complete toolchain that modernizes PHP tooling.

I’d love any feedback on the project. Check out the code here: github.com/carthage-software/fennec

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas as I work to bring Rust-inspired tools to PHP!
