PHP 7.0.0 Alpha 2 Released
- VeejayRampay 11y ago"Improved performance: PHP 7 is up to twice as fast as PHP 5.6". As a Ruby developer there are two ways I could go about this if I wanted to be a living cliché: 1) Meh, it's still PHP 2) Easy to go twice as fast when the language is so slow to begin with But really I'm not kidding myself, I'm envious. I don't know if the work on PHP-related tools by Facebook somehow helped, but I'm glad for all PHP developers to see their language maturing and getting more consistency and speed, good on them.
- ksec 11y agoWell PHP is pretty fast, at least compare to Ruby. So making PHP twice as fast without JIT is an huge achivement. I too wish Ruby get some performance love as well. But Ruby is a compartively small commuities, and without the backing of Giants like Facebook and Zend, it will be a long while before we see RubyJIT arrives.
- VeejayRampay 11y agoMay I ask you where I can find the numbers for PHP being faster than Ruby? (because Internet, this is not bait or snark, it's a real question).
- fleetfox 11y agoTwo more releases after this and PHP will be an OK language.
- spacemanmatt 11y agoPlausible, but man, that's not a development velocity that matches the modern world.
- thewhitetulip 11y agoIs PHP used anywhere except Zend and facebook? All this time I have heard of x web framework for Go, Python, Rust, Racket what not, I rarely have heard about PHP apart from the what's going to be new in PHP 7 few months back.
- lsaferite 11y agoObvious it is being used. It would have died out long ago otherwise. Many MANY sites run PHP underneath. I'm assuming this was a troll? Here are some stats in any case: http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-php/all/all http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-php/all/all That was the first result when I searched "PHP market share"
- ccannon 11y agoPHP is an utter failure. Why on earth would one use "secure" as a subdomain? I can tell it's secure because it uses HTTPS. Also get a grip on reality and stop using SHA-1.
