What advances in computer science were necessary for HipHop? It's a bog-standard JIT system of the kind we'd been building for years. Sure, it's well-executed, but it's hardly a "revolutionary project" to those who weren't born yesterday.
- wallflower 12y agoOk, fair enough. HipHop was not the first JIT. I'd like to hear your opinion on MapReduce.
