It used to be the case that when you program a Laravel project, you program in PHP within the Laravel framework, and then have Vue.js or some other front-end framework at the front-end. The rise of the TALL stack — Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, LiveWire, Laravel — has grossly diminished the role of front-end frameworks, specifically through the use of Livewire to program in Laravel-speak much of the dynamic aspects of the front-end. The integration of ReactPHP into Laravel for web sockets in Laravel Websockets, eliminated the need to use the Laravel Echo Server server and more generally Node.js for real-time web applications within Laravel projects

So we can see here two converging forces, the TALL stack, and the ReactPHP, leading to a pure Laravel programming. These converging forces lead us to The Pure Laravel Playbook where almost all programming is done in PHP within Laravel.
