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. 👍

It's come up a few times lately so I want to clarify something regarding Livewire "vs." Inertia - and a few things about Inertia in general. Comparing Livewire to Inertia doesn't make sense. You should compare Livewire to Vue or React. Why? Inertia isn't a frontend framework.

I’m always so confused when some people say “Laravel makes you code the Laravel way”. No framework makes you code any certain way. Once you hit a controller or a route, the rest of the code is code you chose to write in any style you want using any components you want. ✌️.
