Inspiration & Acknowledgements ---------------------------------- [](#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: [](#inspirations) - [Clippy](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy): For its comprehensive linting approach. - [OXC](https://github.com/oxc-project/oxc/): A major inspiration for building a high-performance toolchain in Rust. - [Hakana](https://github.com/slackhq/hakana/): For its deep static analysis capabilities. ### Acknowledgements: [](#acknowledgements) We deeply respect the foundational work of tools like [PHP-CS-Fixer](https://github.com/PHP-CS-Fixer/PHP-CS-Fixer), [Psalm](https://github.com/vimeo/psalm), [PHPStan](https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan), and [PHP\_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer). While Mago aims to offer a unified and faster alternative, these tools paved the way for modern PHP development.
