Next week a method requested for *years* lands in Laravel. The "toRawSql" method gives you the raw SQL of a query with all bindings substituted. 🔥 Just copy and paste the query into a DB app. *Not* as easy as it sounds and is result of a lot of hard work by @tobias_petry . ❤️

Still thinking I will probably move the "lang" directory to the top level in Laravel 9. Leaving "resources" to be purely frontend stuff. You can already do this in L8. It will look for the lang directory in both the "resources" directory and at the top level. Same in L9. 👍
