Astral did something similar for the Python ecosystem (Rust-inspired tooling built in Rust, replacing a lot of pre-existing - bad - tooling) & the impact has been revolutionary. Python had some of the worst tooling of any popular language & now has some of the best.

Composer is one of the best package managers in any language ecosystem but beyond that, other PHP tooling, while technically well maintained, aren't particularly great at what they do. It's an ideal starting point for positive disruption.

I really wasn't using Composer for last couple of years. Did it already stopped eating 2GB RAM for any project that use framework like Laravel?

Composer is a good tool, but it's resource usage was abysmal.

		2G of ram at build is not that outrageous, however yes, with composer2 (released like 7 years ago?) it uses less ram. Also the frameworks got less bloated and more modular

		Yes it did. Composer 2 is way lighter and faster

BS, compare projects like Infection vs whatever you have to fax to a guy running Ruby.
