+  Are static analysis tools the same as TypeScript for PHP?
+---
+
+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".
+
+I thought this was an interesting comparison.
+
+PHP has types and type checking - the same as TypeScript - but it's only performed when the code is executed.
+
+TypeScript's build step will run its type checks and identify any errors when compiling the application.
+
+Static analysis tools do the same for PHP, allowing you to execute the type checks without executing the code.
+
+The means you can do it from the command line, in an IDE or text editor, or in a CI pipeline.
+
+[Nuno's follow-up YouTube video][0] is a great one to watch if you want to see static analysis and PHPStan in action!
