PHP vs Node.JS is nothing but an indirect battle between PHP and JavaScript who once upon a time, collaborated with each other for a happy development of web applications.

For every coder crowing about the purity of Node.js and the simplicity of JavaScript everywhere, there’s another who’s happy with the deep code base and long-understood stability of PHP.
