Since anything PHP-related on HN is bound to spur the usual PHP hate, here's something that might confuse the haters: PHP is actually faster than Go in many cases (according to http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r8&hw=i7&test=query&f=5mdc-0-0 http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r8&hw=i7...).
- Vieira 13y agoI do not consider myself an hater (I have used both php and go). I would say the results on that page are consequence of php having more mature database drivers (written in C) than go, that is still in its infancy. If you look at for e.g. Plaintext it is more in line with what one would expect from a compiled language versus an interpreted one.
