Those first two points apply (almost) to PHP. Probably the nicest parts of it are ease of deployment, and the isolated “throw the world away” process model per-request. I’ve played with SCGI myself in Nim, it’s quite fun to explore.
- fuball63 9y agoAfter working all day deploying webservers in applications in containers in container management environments in virtual networks in virtual servers, its really nice just to drop files in a folder and update a webapp. I've always loved PHP for this, and that's basically what bigCGI is supposed to be about.
- markroseman 9y agoHa! You know what they say, if we just add one more level of abstraction, all of our problems will be solved! Nobody will even have to know what's going on inside. Famous last words.
- setquk 9y agoThis was the best thing with PHP. In comparison, I spent most of Thursday digging through a problem with log4net which causes it to block all other web server threads if someone throws an exception and it has to do heavy reflection to generate the log message. This cascaded up into a complete process failure. Shared state and locks are evil.
