Having an event loop that can freeze your whole application, is my guess.

Isn’t a huge benefit of how PHP executes is that it’s stateless.

In most languages you can choose your execution model. Stateless then is an option, a design choice.

If it's all your language does, I do not think it counts as a benefit. Not in my book at least.

Can you give an example of another language you can do this?

Note: PHP has Swoole, etc.

most interpreted languages cannot without big overhead
