An amazingly fast specialized JS runtime solution [1][2] does indeed have the #1 spot on the most recent rounds, but full PHP frameworks hold spots #2 - 29 and then it's a mixture of PHP and JS all the way to #58 before we see the first other language (python, uvicorn) emerge.

You can also do some pretty "fun" things with PHP leveraging the opcache. I wrote what in my own personal biased benchmark was the fastest mustache template renderer by transpiling mustache to php files and then "compiling" them with apc [1]. Kind of a poor man's staging / partial evaluation optimizer. This is still running https://goldeneaglecoin.com/ https://goldeneaglecoin.com/ whose framework (and HTML/CSS) is pretty much untouched since 2011. It is running on an ec2 t2.medium instance and is one of the fastest e-commerce sites i know. [1] https://github.com/wesen/proust https://github.com/wesen/proust

  wow, that was some incredible performance, never thought php could be this fast, I was in a dilemma on what language to focus on as an ordinary dev, think I'll stick with php for a while longer.
