This seems to be an article about how ABI compatibility makes improving C++ more difficult. The submission title is currently "It is currently faster to launch PHP to execute a regex than using std:regex", and, while the article makes this claim, it doesn't provide any evidence for this. Maybe it's true, but that's not the point of the article (and I really doubt it's true in most cases--just the overhead of starting a new process and communicating back and forth is significant). Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
