> In short, the modern PHP ecosystem gives us the best of both worlds: the ability to build quickly and confidently in PHP, while still having powerful options (C, Rust, Go) for performance-critical parts. This hybrid approach lets us stay productive without sacrificing speed where it matters most.

I understand this for a large codebase where rewriting is not feasible.

But if that wasn't the case, a C# APIs achieves both speed of development and execution in my experience. You'll rarely need to reach for C++ or Rust.

PHP is great but the language still doesn't allow things like typed arrays. It will happily accept string in a array of dates, for example.
