This is my favourite part of PHP. It really is fast. There's no server running all the time like a node or python website, on each web request it has to start up again and rebuild its entire state.
- Klathmon 8y agoThe bigger benefit is that architecture is so simple to understand. The world starts with a request and ends with the last byte being sent. No worrying about shared state, no worrying about multiple application servers, no worrying about crashes or blocking operations reducing performance for everyone, etc... It's just so simple that it let's you just focus on building something without worrying about all of the "software engineering" work that is all too often self-inflicted complexity.
