I'd use a combination of node and php. Php for the general api and node for anything requiring real time data from/to both the client and server.

Two wrongs don't make a right! -
@linuxxx I would like to implement node in my current php project for better ux. but I am current going strong 5 weeks past deadline
-
You do know Facebook was also written in PHP, right? It's a nice and fast language. I call bullshit on your story.
-
Php is fast, reliable and has good performance, why'd you hate it? Node would be worse imo except for that it works great with sockets.
-
@thelegend200 You seem to not have used the current versions. Be so kind and do so.
-
@PrivateGER The reason I regret writing it in PHP is because PHP doesn't have good support for websockets, and almost every social network needs websockets for chat, notifications and much more stuff
-
@thelegend200 Then you use a second node backend for that and don't rewrite the whole thing. That's just stupid.
