Why PHP is Still Alive?
tadeubento.com
In the age of cutting-edge frameworks, microservices, container orchestration, and serverless functions, it's easy to assume that PHP is a relic of the past. Developers love to hate on it, and yet-somehow-PHP still powers a significant chunk of the web.

You may hate me for this, but this is what’s really going on. I love JS/TS and Node but the world is built in economies of scale not in love for programming languages… and PHP is the best when it comes to cheap scaling.

Really hope someone at Node decides to make it fast-cgi compatible in a nice way.

    PHP is vastly better than server side JS

      I wouldn’t mind if both were killed and dumped in a rotten tomb.

      That’s the point of the article, JS isn’t as good or better just because it doesn’t support a fast-cgi execution model.
