It's not just reputation. It's a fact. Once you're in the event-loop you can't get back to PHP's forking. It's like going from dedicated lane back to dial-up internet.

I'm 10+ years in PHP development, and 1+ year in pure JS/TS development and I can feel the difference on my own skin.

Swoole and RoadRunners try to solve this, but this is not going to work with mid-to-large sized projects, as compatibility is really poor and there is a lot of issues.

PHP have to rethink legacy compatibility and make a big jump into new age to keep up with JS ecosystem progress. Or it's dead eventually.
