I don't think there was anything similar to PHP that wasn't proprietary (Cold Fusion etc.), and FB engineering culture was to avoid vendor lock-in.
In any case, in the 2000s a PHP programmer/designer was analogous to a JavaScript developer today. Lots of talent out there, and it only took a few weeks of orientation and familiarizing for new hires to be productive.
