Many frameworks or languages were fairly well developed by a decade's time. Node is 13 years old; compare it to Rails circa 2018. I don't think PHP makes for a great comparison, because the web ecosystem was still growing. Node was birthed in the age of Github, social media, Stack Overflow, and Google. PHP was released in 1995, when search engines were still stuck in their infancy and only a small percentage of the world was even using the WWW. 20 years in PHP's time is like maybe 5 years from 2009.
