I loved php came bundled with OSX, you just run php -s portnumber (iirc) as and you have a php enabled webserver running locally, so fun for experiments and super convenient especially compared to nowadays… i would prolly use Python, so make venv, activate, etc etc.

you just run php -s portnumber

You can install PHP with homebrew or macports and still do this. I use it all the time.
