Because most of the libraries available for PHP are blocking and you never need to know what a nested callback is. Look, I am not defending PHP here. I stopped writing PHP years and years ago, but can we stop pretending that node is good for everything? It's the best thing I have found for building fast servers, but there's a whole range of tasks for which it is brutally painful. > It is easy to make tasks synchronous in node.
