PHP7 is 10x slow than Swift 3 and Go.
Framework is 10x complexity than Swift 3 and Go.
Dynamic language is easier to make mistake than compiled language.
It spent lot of time reading code and less time to solve simple problem where CURL does really shine.
If you have a choice, you won't choose Lumen, Laravel and CI.
So when was the last time you made a website with Swift 3 and Go? Why are you here?
If you're making websites with PHP and not using a open source framework, then perhaps you are using your own "framework", or more likely not developing applications that do anything substantial. CodeIgniter and other PHP frameworks are just providing shortcuts to make common tasks far easier to do. This makes development faster, safer, and makes maintenance easier because you know what to expect.
As for the complexity of PHP ... that's really a joke, right? PHP has to be the easiest language that exists. If you have a hard time with PHP, I can't imagine you have ever made anything substantial with Swift or Go. If you had, you would easily see how easy PHP is.
