   I haven't used PHP as a daily workhorse in a decade, so I guess I don't understand why I would want a web server in pure PHP? Nginx exists.

         What a tedious reply. They're genuinely asking what the technical reasons for wanting that would be. You're reading it in the silliest way possible.

            PHP is stil the backbone of the internet and a great tool. I don't think that anybody has to explain why people would want to use it.

            If somebody doesn't want anything to do with PHP that's their decision, but why clog up the threads? And every HN post has a similar dismissive comment. Why?

            Unless you think HN is a personal inbox...

               If you read the comment for more than half a second you'd see they're not questioning why someone would use PHP. They're asking why you would use this particular server over nginx/apache, given how robust their support is.
