But do they rewrite ? Twitter did. Facebook didn't.
- chipotle_coyote 8y agoFacebook wrote a new PHP VM and forked the language, so while it may not technically be rewriting...
- tomnipotent 8y ago> 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).
- ddorian43 8y agoI know. Still, cheaper than rewrite.
