One of the things I love about Laravel is that I can just drop it into share-hosting and forget about it. At the same time, my daily work demands Golang 80% of the time.
I keep having mix feelings when having this dichotomy
I think by share-hosting they mean the super cheap PHP hosting that really doesn’t have an equivalent in Go or really any other popular language I’m aware of.
Laravel is a gigantic memory hog as far as PHP apps go. I don't think it makes for a great shared hosting go to, unless you completely ignore PHP's common concurrency models and feel like you need to serve a few requests per second.
There are some ways around this these days, but these seem unlikely to bolt in to common shared hosting providers.
Why can't you do that with anything?
