I haven't seen anything out there that goes this deep on PHP or Python or Node, but there are also fewer runtime and server choices out there for those languages. You can certainly test frameworks, but that's where a lot of the fun begins and ends. Also, Techempower benchmarks pretty much did this outstandingly well. Probably down the line I might look at PHP, Python, Clojure, .NET, and Java.... It's funny how these things spiral out of control.
