   I think 4k requests per second is quite ambitious even for native languages or garbage collected languages like Go.

   Hello world will work, but once parsing, validation, and database queries get involved, you'll need some beefier hardware to get those numbers.

   I can't get the cloud benchmarks for 2022 to work (a dedicated PowerEdge is the standard physical benchmark and that's not very realistic here), but according to these benchmarks: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r20&hw=... you're going to need some very optimized code to get close to 8k reqs/s.

   Phel is a functional programming language that transpiles to PHP. A Lisp dialect inspired by Clojure and Janet.

   

4. Platform

   3 40 11 9.7 JavaScript

   Free, open-source community platform, decentralized alternative to Big Tech. For apps that empower people and unite communities. (by Qbix)

   

   For a framework that is radically different but also PHP-native (since PHP 5), would you like to spend an hour playing with https://github.com/Qbix/Platform ?

   If you do, please share your experience in a comment. I’d love to hear it. I architected this framework over the last decade :)

5. frankenphp

   4 36 7,558 9.5 Go

   🧟 The modern PHP app server

   

6. termwind

   5 10 2,387 4.6 PHP

   🍃 In short, it's like Tailwind CSS, but for the PHP command-line applications.

   

7. cms

   6 38 4,292 9.9 PHP

   The core Laravel CMS Composer package

   

   If you're looking for a great CMS and were bitten by WordPress back in the day, you should take a look at Statamic (https://statamic.com)

   It's a Laravel package and it's the best CMS I've ever used (from a dev perspective). v4 just dropped the other day

8. twill

   7 10 3,847 8.6 PHP

   Twill is an open source CMS toolkit for Laravel that helps developers rapidly create a custom admin console that is intuitive, powerful and flexible. Chat with us on Discord at https://discord.gg/cnWk7EFv8R.

   

   PHP has a lot of top tier CMSes. IMHO bunch of them are even better than Statamic. Craft CMS (https://craftcms.com/) is a lot more mature database based CMS. Kirby (https://getkirby.com/) is better at flat-file and has a lot better admin interface. Twill (https://twillcms.com/) is better integrated in Laravel and is fully open-source. Statamic mostly feels like it's sitting besides Laravel and they call themselves Laravel based for marketing.

    Otherwise, only vague and unsubstantiated claims, which does not help PHP nor any other programming language or framework.

    Discontinued Issues board used for Laravel internals discussions. (by laravel)

    

    I just don't get why people in php use lazy comparison in php when you know that "0e4"=="0e5" in php.

    and yes, Laravel use lazy comparison. And yes at least three bugs where caused by this use.

    see: https://github.com/laravel/ideas/issues/698 for why I'm a bit grumpy with php ecosystem

15. sqlc

    13 181 14,490 9.0 Go

    Generate type-safe code from SQL

    

    I left PHP for Go.

    - with http://sqlc.dev I don't have to write ORM or model code anymore.

    - with http://goa.design I can have well-documented API's that any team can generate a client for in any language. It also generates the HTTP JSON and gRPC servers for me so I can focus on my logic.

    - with https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen I can define GraphQL revolvers that play well with sqlc (any RDBMS) or I can use a key-value store.

    - speaking of key-value stores, Go allows them to be embedded! Even SQLite now has the https://litestream.io/ project to make it super simple to use a durable, always backed-up SQLite database even in a serverless context.

    Go is faster, uses less memory, and has really-well designed stdlib without all the bugs I used to face trying to use the PHP stdlib.
