isn't that the case? Which then became a dialect of php with a custom interpreter (and then compiler) as they scaled.

- noduerme 2y agoYes, that was the case. I was being sarcastic. Zuck wrote facebook in PHP and spent millions of dollars then writing a custom interpreter to let his janky code run slightly faster than normal.
- rerdavies 2y agoZuck's obvious mistake: he should have written the PHP compiler to precompile chunks of GPU code that would be the only code that actually runs when serving web pages. </sarcasm> Facebook isn't really a comparable problems, because ALL of the performance-critical code in PyTorch does runs on a GPU.
