AFAIK it's not true. First they don't use raw php: https://github.com/facebook/xhp/wiki https://github.com/facebook/xhp/wiki
Then they use it only for the view layer, it only pull some data from memcache to render HTML.
But all the hard work is C++ / Java / Tornado / etc
- pavs 13y agoCorrect me if I am wrong, but very few large scale project (if any at all) use raw PHP. Most of them rely on some kind of framework. Besides FB said it themselves that large portion of their code is PHP.
