PHP 7.1.0 Released
Not to derail the thread at all.<p>But, for a brand new greenfield application.  Why would someone choose PHP for their backend, when Golang is available?<p>I was at a developer meeting with a company who were reviewing what to use for a client project.  The developers are from PHP&#x2F;jQuery shop, however they felt it necessary to be with the times so to speak, for the future to get other projects.  They opted for Vuejs and Golang with server side processing.<p>Apparently the client has some server side operations which are particular heavy and mentioned that php&#x2F;python&#x2F;ruby are just too slow with their own internal testing.<p>Many thanks!
