Sun Offering Optimized AMP Stack On Solaris
tbray writes "This is your friendly local Sun corporate drone reporting that we're going to be building and optimizing and DTrace-ing and shipping and supporting the AMP part of LAMP (details here). I think that basically the whole tech industry, excepting Microsoft, is now at least partly in the AMP camp."

Yeah, because they have ASP.NET, which pretty much blows the doors off of most other things productivity-wise.
Oh yeah and Sun pushes this little thing called Java. It's also pretty productive once you use a proper framework like Spring or Seam. There's a few Ruby developers who also aren't part of this "in crowd" I guess. In fact, the "AMP Camp" is starting to look pretty darned old and tired. But keep shaking those pom-poms.
Done with slashdot, done with nerds, getting a life.
Funny, I build PHP and Apache at least once a month and it only takes me 25 minutes. There's no logic to optimizing poor performers like Apache and PHP, these are popular because they're flexible and Ruby performs spectacularly badly (even Yarv). Basically, if users cared about performance they'd be using languages other than those listed. They probably wouldn't be using Apache either.
That leaves them to optimize the databases, DTrace away guys...
The answer is in the form of a question: given Solaris' marketshare, does it really matter?
