Thats pretty rad.

I'm curious if you guys use PHP at all for any real time workloads. Thats where I've always had struggles with PHP.

Also, have you found the event dispatch system of the modern PHP frameworks to be slower over time?

I've used PHP in a realtime setting as part of Psalm's Language Server, but it's clearly not built for such workloads – the lack of native async support gets in the way.

If most of the stuff you're doing requires an event loop I'd consider other options before PHP, but if it's mainly serving web requests PHP is my go-to.
