The execution model is definitely the biggest issue with PHP these days.

Although now that the PHP Foundation is officially supporting FrankenPHP maybe things will be evolving into a new paradigm.

There was a long discussion recently on FrankenPHP.

But why pick PHP then? Why not use nodejs or similar where the language, application stack and the community is already in agreement on the execution model.

I don’t use php but it’s extremely popular around the world. There’s also Laravel which seems a lot more productive than anything in js for full stack dev.
