The one thing I don't like about PHP is that the whole application is bootstraped (and autoloading and the configuration is re-evaluated) in every single http request. Sure thing there's cache and all, but it just doesn't feel right (compared, to, for instance, an http server written in golang)

There are well documented and production-ready libraries that you can use to run your own servers with PHP alone, no need for fpm or mod_php. PHP's JIT is pretty impressive and you would be blown away by the results.
