I've developed software in Java,.NET, Php & NodeJS. I ll rate JVM higher than any other platform. But when it comes to simplicity, easy scalability, Node ranks way higher. Php isnt even closer at all.

NodeJS literally takes 5 minutes to get started writing scalable apps without even thinking about concurency at all.

Write a software in Php yourself and let people download and run themselves, there are endless pain. Actually Php sucks in many areas which I dont want to touch right now.
