Keep in mind Facebook actually wrote their own PHP interpreter, which doesn’t support eval() (treated like a core language feature by countless crappy developers). And that they are hardly all-PHP, having created and open-sourced a mechanism to shuttle data around between languages.
- jeromec 16y agoYes, Facebook rewrote and released a faster PHP runtime, which means they embraced rather than shunned it. With comments like the GP you'd think FB hobbled along with PHP on its way to becoming as big as it is now.
