So the bank would be better of with php?

Well.... the math may work more in my favor.

But, no, that's not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying, one language is extremely well thought out, and offers great guard-rails for doing OOP very well. And yet, the code is broken enough that sometimes I just have to give up on getting my account balance. Yet, Facebook from that era typically "just worked"... except when it didn't, and everyone would lose their minds. My point was, code that works, even if ugly, is what the customer cares about.

I'm still on the fence if I'd recommend anyone use PHP... Swoole performs very well. Laravel has a great community. It's not my cup of tea but, I try to keep an eye on it.
