I love PHP as well, but lately I have been using JavaScript myself, simply because it is easier and faster to β€œcontainerize”.

Having a strong, production-ready, light built-in server in PHP would be nice though and avoid having to deal with Apache/nginx/Caddy sidecars containers.

To be absolutely clear, I have been veering heavily toward JS lately. And I've been loving it. I don't have anything against JS. And I don't have anything (irrationally) in favor of PHP. To me... any language is a tool in your tool belt. And it's silly to imply that the hammer is somehow superior to the screwdriver.
