    I thought FB used HipHopVM (HHVM), a p-code/JIT implementation of PHP.

    You should see how HHVM fares - it has a much lower memory footprint, and runs PHP code lighting fast. It's simply amazing.

  4. Re:Perl still works, and PHP is fine by pak9rabid · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: Choosing a Web Language That's Long-Lived, and Not Too Buzzy?

    Judging by the fact that most of Facebook is based on PHP, it sounds to me like it's pretty robust... It's also object oriented.

    And functional

    The only drawback that I would find as a code-geek is weak typing

    Which Facebook is addressing with their language Hack, which is heavily based on the PHP language. As a bonus, you also get a language that's built from the ground-up to be fully functional with their HHVM technology. It's an exciting time for PHP.

    Not exactly. The interpreter compiles the source files into a bytecode and executes it on a stack-based virtual machine: ahref=http://perlbin.sourceforge.net/perlcompiler/perl.internals.pdfrel=url2html-14852http://perlbin.sourceforge.net...>

    Hey, you got one. However the they are currently revising the language to make it compatible with adding a JIT later: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9248637/PHP_keepers_plot_radical_revision_of_the_language

  7. Why? Isn't there HHVM already! by f00zbll · · Score: 1 · on PHP Next Generation

    I fail to see the point. Facebook already made HHVM and it's open source. http://hhvm.com/
    What do the gain out of it. Why not contribute to HHVM instead?
