All i see is that the php fpm based frameworks (e.g. laravel) are 100x - 300x slower. And this is the best case scenario. When projects grow, php-fpm gets slower and slower. Which is not the case for go. Im not a go-fanboy, my entire carreer has been in PHP. Im just saying, PHP is one of the most terrible languages for web servers. And it's all php-fpm's fault. On top of that, the PHP community seems to promote OOP and SOLID which are the last design patterns you want to combine with php-fpm. There's a reason why facebook created their own PHP transpiler.
