I am wondering why php wasn't more popular? Think php as a serverless platform:

1. 10 minute to learn, simple syntax, rich functions

2. deploy with standard tools like ftp

3. easy scaling with php-fpm.

4. not exactly docker, but vhost works in most cases. And vhost can be containerized.

5. insta hot-reload

6. dirt cheap cost. Hi dreamhost

7. no vendor lock-in bullshit, supported by everyone everywhere

well, at least it was the case used to be
