People talk of language and speed as if they're handling loads of Facebook, twitter etc. Btw Facebook was built on Php and still uses in some parts. If you write good clean code by following the standards even using Ruby won't matter. Plus when you scale you can always take those decisions. I also feel those devs who are emotionally too attached with their software tools, programming language, coding patterns etc shut themselves up from learning and hence their service become obsolete. As evident in the answers, before branding Php as very very slow, the guy owning this thread not even did a basic courtesy of searching Google. Be it MEDIUM, dev.to, hackernews some random guy posts this kind of question and developer communities jump to thrash / defend programming languages.
