I'm running multithreaded background processes in PHP pretty successfully. I did not see (and still do not see) a reason why I should have chosen another "proper" language for it.

P.S. The vast majority of arguments against PHP here leads me to conclusion that most of (not all) debaters don't understand how PHP works well enough.

Mulithreaded using the pthreads api or something else? Any chance there's code I could take a look at (I'm curious!)

I use curl_multi_* functions.

Oh... I don't count curl_multi as multithreaded (because it isn't really threads), but it's very useful, and I definitely use it.
