Internally, I think PHP is great for prototyping. I have written systems in Go and PHP, and I think each has their strengths. I like the batteries included standard library and single binary deployment of Go. PHP, like others have said, gives you a single endpoint and you can make rapid changes. Its ideal for internal web apps that do not require insane performance.
