I'll tell you what. When I'm a fortune 10,000 company, we can afford to rewrite the web app.

  But do they rewrite ? Twitter did. Facebook didn't.

    Facebook wrote a new PHP VM and forked the language, so while it may not technically be rewriting...

    > Facebook didn't. You have no idea what you're talking about. Not only did they produce TWO different implementations of PHP (HHVM and Hack), a vast majority of their infrastructure is NOT in PHP (which is mostly reserved for the front-end/web tier).

      I know. Still, cheaper than rewrite.
