Depends on the use case. I've definitely worked with projects that required a ton of capacity, because the realtime search functionality was booting the full Symfony framework every time someone typed in a letter. To get rid of those performance problems, someone builds a fragile mess of PHP. In that case something like Go or Node.js is a much better fit to the problem.

But if you're building a big old MySQL CRUD app full of complicated business rules, PHP makes a lot more sense.
