I'm not a real programmer. I throw together things until it works then I move on. The real programmers will say "Yeah it works but you're leaking memory everywhere. Perhaps we should fix that." I’ll just restart Apache every 10 requests.

- _pmf_ 13y ago> lucky php has very clever people doing clever things with it - see hhvm for a recent great thing for PHP The whole point of HHVM is to migrate away from the PHP runtime (by using the PHP language on another runtime). It's a bit perverted to say that's a god thing for PHP.
- kayoone 13y agoits just a more performant runtime environment, why is that migrating away from php ?
- qwerta 13y agoI think this would apply to early Ruby On Rails. PHP libs and interpreter are actually fairly good.
- dscrd 13y agoCan you have a long-running process on PHP these days? I thought it still wasn't an option.
