Does the new PHP 7 will be able to run real time communication?

[lordluisv]

On stack overflow they always says that PHP is not a good programming language for real time applications in this case like real time chats, long polling, comet, etc. with PHP 7 would this change? or I need to start learning node.js?

It already does that: Event-driven, non-blocking I/O
