I don't think that applies though. If anything, laravel is pushing PHP into another "golden age" not seen since code igniter 2, with again a framework that does things not quite how they should be under the hood, but definitely how people need them to be to be fast and efficient, except this time backed up by a proper package management system, a much better and stronger language and an ecosystem based on reusable modules.
Does it have the favor of the modern hype or new language seeker or anything like that ? No, absolutely not, but when has PHP ever had that ?
