It took me a while (and a lot of soul-searching), but I eventually came to terms with it. 😁

What makes you say that? One worker runs one thread, but you can run multiple workers at once.

You could always switch to a java technology, such as jakarta ee or the spring framework. Or C sharp with .net core. Or use the various work a rounds that's out there. But the answer by @snapey makes sense.

Edit:

One main reason I like PHP and frameworks like Laravel:

No maven or gradle to deal with.

Especially gradle, it can be a pain to get everything updated.

@lifesound Then use something else if you feel PHP is inferior to other languages.
