For those that want to abandon php and switch to the shiny node.js because you think that you can't do the fancy stuffs like web socket programming, creating real time chat apps, timed executive of functions like the setInterval() and setTimeout() or async stuffs like fetch().then() in JavaScript DONT switch php can do these stuffs if not even better.

With the Advent of the ratchet libry powered by react php (another php libry) you can easily build real time chat applications, make timed execution of functions, make async requests etc.

Php 7 gave us the power to do these stuffs, with the Advent of php8 more support for async programming has been introduced

So as a business, you don't need to cough out that large amount of money setting up node server infastructure and hiring costly node developers. With that your regular shared hosting you can leverage the full power of php to create those special stuffs you want on your website or application and save your money for the promotion of your business.

You also get to enjoy great and large community support, easy database migration etc

So open your command prompt, navigate to your project root folder and type 'composer require cboden/ratchet' to start using and enjoy the power of ratchet and react php.
PHP IS EVOLVING!

I do both JavaScript and node though, but php is my first love. coupled with the fact that it is cheap and easy to deploy
