The vast majority of blogs that are build in Wordpress. Remove all the blogs and corporate websites and I bet that's not the case anymore.
- Daishiman 9y agoYou're saying that as if blogs and corporate websites weren't a humongous proportion of the internet. And no, there's some pretty big, modern sites like Mailchimp which run on PHP. There's literally no reason to use Node if you already have an effective backend with PHP because Node doesn't really bring anything new on the table, but it does bring along its own class of issues.
- camus2 9y ago> because Node doesn't really bring anything new on the table You can't write a production grade web socket server in PHP. and no ReactPHP isn't my definition of production grade. If your app is real time you just can't use PHP for that. So yes, Node brings something new to the table.
