PHP 8: Before and After
Few months ago I was debating with a friend working since 15 years on PHP, my point was php is slow and max throughput is 200-500 rps, which is quite low compared to Go, node.js, C# and others, he answered that 100-200 request per second is more than enough for most use cases. 
I&#x27;m working on systems with 25K RPS at peaks, but for simple projects and small companies he is right ... But why should anyone start a new project in php now that we have so many good alternatives?
