@lang to {{ __

[thomasrd1]

Hey, I ran my project through LaravelShift the other day.
Noticed they did a bulk update on your mail blade language tags.

@lang('Hello')!
{{ __('Hello') }}!

You may consider updating this next time.

I don't know why, @lang is definitely the better option when in blade views as it looks cleaner and is less characters. I use __() when not in blade views. It's not deprecated as far as I know.
