I would say that FaceBook couldn't run on the PHP of 6
years ago without having an incredibly huge server farm.
The facilitator at the conference where HipHop was presented indicated that FaceBook had "tens of thousands of web servers". It was an off the cuff remark. Did anyone else catch that?
It's actually not clear to me what HipHop is. It sounded like they transformed their PHP code into C, and compiled it. And rewrote the PHP runtime engine to evoke it. So that Facebook is essentially a C application. Is that right?
