PHP is backed by projects/companies that cover the entire spectrum of web development. Its ecosystem seems alive and thriving. I haven't used PHP in years but I kind of want to dip back into it.
try launching webserver with bare php?
try running gRPC server?
message queue comsumer, cli script - dont forget to stick it into supervisor to restart, if you dont want it to leak memory. kafka consumers anyone? reactive services?

excellent web frameworks mentioned in article are few years behind the rest of the industry
I am a software engineer currently working @ShopPad, previously @HPE. I like to build websites and web application in PHP, JavaScript, and Golang. I have an unhealthy obsession with Mexican food (🌯)

Facebook was built using PHP, then they wrote another language, which the syntax is similar to PHP.

I swear the dev circle-of-life is about 3-5 years long - you wait long enough and what ever you are doing is going to be the hip thing again.
