You can get a web app up and running quickly in good languages too, and then you also don't have ongoing maintenance nightmares and the massively increased hardware and hosting costs that come with PHP.
- pwaring 15y agoI don't know where you're getting this "massively increased hardware and hosting costs" from - we run our trading platform on bog standard x86_64 hardware, as has every other PHP site I've worked on (some even run in VMs with 500MB of memory).
- SomeOtherGuy 15y agoBecause you are buying 10 times as many servers, and paying for power for 10 times as many servers. Where on earth did this "bog standard x86_64 hardware" business come from?
