PHP Scales As Well As Java

Posted by michael on from the emperor-has-no-clothes dept.

mactari writes "Jack Herrington at the O'Reilly Network has had the audacity to claim that both PHP and J2EE architecture... are converging on the same design [regarding scalability]. Can it be that he's disproven the idea that 'Java scales and scripting languages don't' when he says, 'The idea that PHP does not scale is clearly false at the performance level'? Even if a little oversimplified (ignores horizontal scaling), it's an interesting comparison that takes a peek at the architecture beneath both hypes."

    Real programmers use Java. PHP is total garbage, as is every other programming langauge. Ok, maybe I'm a little biased.

    PHP Scales As Well As Java -- is that a good thing? I'm not sure how well Java scales. How does it compare to Perl or Smalltalk?

    So, what you are REALLY saying is that you have not taken the time to learn the language?
