It's neat that the article presents Laravel as an alternative, but the audience seems to be JS / node devs here. I'm a JS dev and haven't touched PHP since around 2010 when I was at Yahoo and they started to move to node.js.
The article needs to have a better section on why move to PHP and use Laravel. There's overhead in learning both a language and a framework, and "PHP also does it" isn't a compelling enough argument for me.
