      <p>During one of Nuno Maduro's live streams, he was speaking about static analysis and PHPStan when either he or someone in the chat said "PHPStan is TypeScript for PHP".</p>

      <p>I thought this was an interesting comparison.</p>

      <p>PHP has types and type checking - the same as TypeScript - but it's only performed when the code is executed.</p>

      <p>TypeScript's build step will run its type checks and identify any errors when compiling the application.</p>

      <p>Static analysis tools do the same for PHP, allowing you to execute the type checks without executing the code.</p>

      <p>The means you can do it from the command line, in an IDE or text editor, or in a CI pipeline.</p>

      <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOQC_-pkMYk">Nuno's follow-up YouTube video</a> is a great one to watch if you want to see static analysis and PHPStan in action!</p>
