facebook, vk, youtube, wordpress, shopify - a lot of stuff runs on php
- astrange 6y agoGoogle would never let YouTube use PHP. I guess it did originally though.
- thu2111 6y agoYouTube was originally Python, not PHP.
- rafaelvasco 6y agoAfaik at least facebook uses a heavily modified version of PHP ? No way they would run it pure.
- vitalyavolyn 6y agoVK.com also uses their own php compiler (VKCOM/kphp on github)
- jesboat 6y agoFacebook wrote a new runtime and has, over time, changed the language rather significantly (eg strong static typing, async/await, generics, overhauled much of the standard library.) It's called Hack. At this point, I don't think you could reasonably say facebook's written in php any more than you could say various c++ projects are written in C. https://hacklang.org/ https://hacklang.org/
