My TLDR is:

  • Their team was using PHP

  • Before doing a complete re-write they evaluated other languages

  • Rust ruled out due to cost/benefit, being the fastest in the list, but also the most complex

  • PHP kept as the main language because:

    • The ecosystem is mature
    • The PHP/Symfony (and Roadrunner) stack meets their high-performance needs

  • Inertia: their team "already had extensive experience" in it

  • They already integrated Go in some microservices

  • They aren't locked to PHP, and will continue to evaluate these programming languages and others
