Because WordPress powers about 38% of the websites out there and it's written in PHP, not in Python.

I prefer Python whenever I get the chance, but if you do any backend logic for websites, PHP is the only obvious choice. That being said, for both work and fun, I've created pages that used both PHP and Python, where Python did the "heavy lifting" and PHP acted more like a medium/control. Doing everything in Python would've been possible, but it'd also have taken more time and effort than I'd care to spend.Originally posted by szymon_g View PostComment

PHP has way better application and testing frameworks than Python. When you're doing big server-side apps, those go a long way towards code reliability and longevity, as well as velocity (of getting things done) and developer experience which always go hand to hand.
There are many other uses Python is way superior to PHP, again nothing to do with the language per se but the ecosystem around it. Always strive to use the right tool for a job.Comment

I don't know of any. A typical python web app is a long running python process with an event loop to dispatch the request/response cycle. There are advantages to this approach as it helps with latency by negating application bootstrap (php has swoole and react-php to do this for lower-latency apps) but there are many disadvantages too - requiring an external tool like supervisord to handle the processes being one. Another is the potential for data leakage from one req/res cycle to another as well as exacerbating any latent memory leaks.
php-fpm is actually a strength of PHP in my opinion.Comment

Why either of those when literally any other language is better than both?Originally posted by szymon_g View PostComment
