Our team is composed from PHP veterans, and with recent PHP improvments introduced in PHP7 and PHP8 we decide to stick with. PHP gives us a good balance of simplicity, ease-of-use and probably best performance out there for a dynamic, non-compiled language. Since Appwrite 0.8, Appwrite is using Swoole as an HTTP and Co-Routines framework. Swoole has helped us boost the server performance by over 90%. With Swoole Appwrite has first class async and non-blocking support. |

Oh, I’m reading this and wondering how many people struggle with async in Rust nowadays, by the way Go could be a nice option if it fits |
