Facebook is using HipHopVM, which is a JIT for PHP. HipHop is no longer a PHP -> C++ compiler. Didn't know they switched to HBase, it's still Java though.

- Skinney 13y agoThat note is from 2011. According to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HipHop_for_PHP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HipHop_for_PHP "in Q1 2013, the production version of facebook.com started running on HHVM, replacing HPHPc."
