For clarification: PHP never had GIL. And it's a magnitude faster than Ruby or Python.
It's a common misconception to group PHP with Ruby and Python in terms of performance.
Even more now that PHP8 is JIT'ed. Plus async/await is coming with Fibers RFC and already present as modules.
People have been using async PHP in production for years. See Swoole.

Much higher than Python / Ruby / Node.js and head-to-head with the Golang based project performance.
