I agree, and I see every day that PHP apps are not written with both these pitfalls and advantages in mind. Instead, most "foreign" PHP code I look at today is either made to look like it was designed for a Java app server or is s

Oh, you can go that with most languages, not just Python. However, they're not designed for it. PHP comes with the FPM server and an opcode cache which makes this execution model performant in a way that was not possible before with CG

There is one other strength that PHP has which is not replicated by any other runtime on the web, with the partial exception of Perl: its execution model. PHP code is executed per-request only, as opposed to within the context of an already
