[Ur] What about a new project - general purpose ur like language which collaborates with existing languages?

I don't see the point in adding more backends. Browsers only run
JavaScript. Ur does it. And (with enough FFI) server-side C can be used
from anywhere.
Generating PHP or Node.js code defeats the purpose of Ur/Web to be safe
(and fast) language for the web.
Maybe some kind of improved FFI would help, but rewriting the whole
compiler to support generating PHP?
