There are only two features left for PHP to be impregnable:
1. Compilation (JIT fixed not tried this out yet)
2. Application Context Object

The session context provided by the $_SESSION variable is great but so much can be said about the ability to hold a shared variable across sessions.
There a several workarounds about this including Redis and other in-memory DBs, but the problem is that not all hosting providers provide the Redis Service.

As a seasoned Java Engineer, taking advantage of the evolving OO-capabilities of PHP, I can tell you Spring Boot et al is a total waste of time, enable a practical Compiler and Application Context Object and PHP... beautiful

Several Use Cases of the Application Context includes
1. Implement messaging Queues, Job Queues, and Application-wide event listeners and handlers
2. Set scheduled jobs, like routing DB purging
3. Site-wide visitors count

Just to name a few.
Thanks
