There are a few approaches, usually via a standalone node.js service. I've seen similar architectures for ruby and python web servers as well.

I'm working on a project now that uses airbnb's hypernova service[0] with a php client[1].

Edit: not suggesting this was used in this case, just that it's a viable option for react ssr + php.

This is exciting, and has a lot of potential to significantly improve JS library initialization time.

I wonder if this is the same project[0] Sebastian McKenzie previewed at React Europe 2016?

The last I had read[1], the intention is to deprecate shadow piercing combinators altogether.

I'm still looking forward to the 'Sublime Text'-like column mode selection feature[1], currently the top voted feature request, which will be an excellent addition to IntelliJ. Unfortunately it looks like we'll have to wait until version 14 for this.

I was a philosophy major and I now work as a software developer. While my primary goal in studying philosophy wasn't to improve my chances at getting a job, my studies certainly prepared me for the problems I would face as a professional developer.

Learning how to think logically, approach complex problems, and structure coherent arguments, are important skills that you gain from studying philosophy. Perhaps this is why the mid-career median salary for a philosophy major is, according to PayScale Inc., more than that of several other science or business related majors (with only a bachelor's degree, 10 years after graduation) [1].

As an aside, philosophy and computer science aren't as unrelated as one might think; there are some interesting scholarly works that examine the philosophical foundations and implications of topics in computer science (android epistemology [2] is a good example).

[Unfortunately this comment is related more to the article title than the article content since the latter does not address this topic directly.]

It would be nice to see one in Node.
