[removed language flame war]
- grzm 9y agoThere are plenty of places where you can view arguments for and against PHP alone and in comparison to Python and Ruby on the internet. This submission is specifically about HHVM. Asking people to justify the use of PHP in such a context is just inviting a language flame war. Please don't.
- segmondy 9y agoFaster than Python and Ruby. PHP7 is actually a better OOP language than Python is. PHP is much easier to get started in and find "talent" for, tons of PHP developers out there. A lot of money has been made with PHP, the only reason many companies switched from PHP is that the developers wanted to "feel grown up" and switched to something else.
