- adharmad 16y agoWhat about facebook?
- koenigdavidmj 16y agoThey get props for compiling the bloody thing to C++.
- there 16y agoit's probably going to be hard to get facebook developers to work on gnu social though :)
- prodigal_erik 16y agoFacebook has too much legacy code to switch from PHP to anything sane, but I don't doubt many of them would like to. The Quora guys promptly adopted Python after leaving.
- mattl 16y agoMaybe some people will stick their noses up at working on PHP. I'm not super excited by those people, and I think its a shame when talented developers get embittered into language wars, but I can certainly understand why they happen. I tell everyone working on GNU social that we're going it for the betterment of the world, not their own personal situation. That means running it everywhere.
