Lies we tell ourselves to keep using Golang
As a regular Go user, I agree with this take. Though the tools exist, error wrapping and checking (with errors.Is and so on) is actually pretty rare in my experience.
Positive example of good and appropriate usage here: https://github.com/coder/websocket/blob/master/internal/exam...

Possible frameworks/languages for a web/mobile application
In my experience Go has been relatively approachable for people that are good at PHP. It has a great standard library and a pretty solid ecosystem, though frameworks aren’t as popular in Go. There are some well regarded libraries for things like WebRTC via https://github.com/pion/webrtc WebSicket via https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket

Websocket memory usage
Also take a look at https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket - which is a good ws library, but I don't have anything specific about its memory usage per connection. But from what I see it will be somewhat similar to x/net/websocket.
