JavaScript really does take over everything.

Heh. More seriously, I think maybe deno[1] should be on that list, as a nodejs 2.0 / event loop for js 2.0?

I know this is a joke, but we’re legitimately running v8 as a PHP extension in production on high-traffic sites. It’s actually quite good for server-side JS rendering when you’re working inside an existing PHP framework (WordPress, in our case).

Mind linking anything on how you’re doing that? We’d looked into a couple years ago but it seemed quite complicated from a setup perspective.

The current major version of PHP is 7 so that makes sense, it was really the jump from 5 to 7 which was a little anomalous.

have you a link handy?
