The point made in the article:

* resource leaks are non-existent

Can not be emphasized enough imo. The amount of absolute ridiculous levels of pain instigated by expecting a core code loop to run -forever- and doing so well while being written for some web project or other is just too much to fathom. Just use PHP and serve the request. Then let it die. Then serve a new request.

It also makes scaling across multiple servers an absolute breeze when there's no shared state across requests to worry about.
