I have professional experience with both PHP (almost 15 years, from 4.3 to 7.1) and Node.js (2 years, however I already knew javascript, so I wasn't starting from scratch). I'm no longer using PHP for any project, as to me, there's no comparison. I always felt PHP was a big mess, with poor backward compatibility
(just showing how poorly designed it is) and very prone to difficult to find bugs, and also, I don't like stateless systems and with PHP you need to keep saving and reloading a state to approach a stateful system, which also slows down the request. With good programming in Node.js, you can achieve much faster speed and much more easily (no need for the above tricks). Something like caching is a piece of cake in Node, or anything involving real time, such as a chat.
I think a lot of PHP users who never tried Node.js are going to say PHP is better, but I think people who have in experience in both most probably prefer Node.js, by far.
We have common experience. Same story here. Recently I discovered Symfony Workflow which I love so much, but I can't really imagine how to build something similar with Node. Could you have a look at dev.to/razbakov/symfony-workflow-a...
