>>>Did you notice PHP outperforms any other scripting languages?
I am not sure what was the last time I had to choose a language by a single dimension. If we are talking about performance, scripting languages rarely shine. On the top of that, performance critical things in scripting languages are often implemented in a compiled language (like Pandas for example).

Of course, you don't choose a language based on that on a single dimension, but speed is an important factor otherwise benchmarks would not exist.
