I don’t get why people don’t list PHP in these kinds of articles? It’s been used as a back-end language for the web long before JavaScript and the language, tooling and frameworks have only improved in the last 6 years, when PHP 7 was released. It’s not really one that’s good for serverless functions, but otherwise it’s the best language (imo) for web development. I don’t understand how it’s not scalable? Scalability is not just about the language, but about architecture (both software and infrastructure) and I find it just as easy to implement in PHP than in any language.
