Had a quick look at this PHP-advocacy article <
https://www.zend.com/blog/is-php-still-relevant> (linked from <
https://www.infoworld.com/article/4117738/php-language-still-relevant-advocate-insists.html>).
I was particularly interested in the PHP-versus-Python table, since I
have created a few intranet apps for customers in Python, while
maintaining some PHP code for them as well.
You know what word I searched for, and couldn’t find in that entire
article? “WebSocket”. Because that’s one thing that PHP doesn’t seem
to handle at all well. It’s becoming important for more interactive
web-based sites, and the basic implementation model of PHP -- HTTP
request comes in, the code runs and generates a response page, then
exits -- is quite unsuited to the kind of ongoing full-duplex
communication that WebSocket connections are designed for.
