Whether the author is right or not, the tone of the article is so intensively dismissive and the arguments are so poorly supported by insults, that it&#x27;s barely worth reading at all.<p>My view?<p>The author may be right, PHP <i>may</i> be a worse choice over Go when you&#x27;re aiming to create a massive &quot;serverless&quot; structure. Then again, it doesn&#x27;t consider any of the potential future directions PHP may take over the coming 5 years.<p>In addition to that, some of the largest sites run on PHP (Facebook, Wikipedia, ...), and I don&#x27;t know why they should quit any time soon.<p>Lastly, even <i>if</i> Go overtakes PHP on serverless, it&#x27;s not clear whether PHP was even a great target for serverless architectures to begin with. In my personal experience, PHP shines for small to middle-size applications, and companies like Facebook prove that it&#x27;s suitable for gargantuan applications too.<p>TL;DR: bad article
