[ANN] gemini-php: A Gemini server written in PHP

[Kevin Sangeelee]

Great stuff - it's hard not to have a soft spot for such a pragmatic
language as PHP!

I measured performance at around 35 requests per second for the index page
vs 105 for gemserv (Rust, native binary). Resident RAM use was ~25MB vs
~7MB for gemserv.

I'd say that's pretty respectable for an interpreted language with a
runtime, that's forking connections. My own Java server weighs in at ~100MB
RAM, I must measure throughput, for fun.

Thanks for sharing!

Kevin
