The question should be the other way around.

Node has:

  1. The larger (if not largest) eco system
  2. Better performance
  3. Better tooling. Code navigation + refactoring is top notch when using Typescript. Git integration, linting, code coverage, testing, package management etc. Are also the same or better.
  4. Same language as the front-end we all use.
  5. Anything you can implement with php, you can implement with typescript.

Now, what does PHP has to offer?
