about 6 months ago we hired a 24 aged guy as a php developer (with more than 3 year experience). so yes. with recent changes in PHP, like modernize stack, good frameworks (laravel, symfony, hyperf) and huge speed it gains from new runtimes like swoole, openswoole, frankenphp, it is really good stack to start new projects and have almost zero need for future migration to something else. i need to mention we have GO in our backend stack as well and no plan to migrate anything but in our case GO services can easily be replaced with new PHP runtimes and we would have no performance issues.
