Unfortunately, the fact that it is architected around the HTTP request/
response model limits its flexibility somewhat. For example, it makes it 
awkward to handle WebSocket connections.

For contrast, Python has an event-driven specification called ASGI, which 
deals with both regular HTTP connections and WebSockets in a single 
framework. And it also handles long-running background processes as well 
(another thing PHP tends to have trouble with).
