I have been reading a lot about facebook and how they are set up, I would like to know if Elgg is PHP only or can it handle other languages?

- Elgg integrates with memcached, check settings.php
- Last time I've checked, Elgg wasn't running smoothly on hiphop, though there were several changes since that time, so perhaps it's worth revisiting: https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/issues/6248 I don't recommend it for a production use at the moment.
- You can implement custom file storages in Elgg
- It's possible to combine Elgg with middleware solution to construct page from computed separately parts, ie. the system I was designing (if you dare to bare with my terrible accent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhISiQuc6OQ).
- Minds made cassandra fork of Elgg, though it's not open-source'd just yet AFAIK
- There's no Thrift support in Elgg, but nothing stops you from using it https://thrift.apache.org/tutorial/php, I wouldn't expect good ROI there and I can't vouch for a stability of this extension
- Elgg integrates well with Varnish if you know what to cache and what not in your Varnish configuration. If made correctly, you can gain a lot by using it.
- For profiling, I can recommend Xdebug, though that's not something to keep constantly enabled on production site.
You must log in to post replies.Elgg is written in PHP, plugins are PHP only. I'm not sure what you mean by 'can handle other languages' but the answer is no.
That's a badly asked question. Elgg is a PHP framework, so the answer to your question as for almost every PHP framework is no.
You ask about languages, but link to article speaking about something different.
That's regarding topics in the article. Please ask more precise questions in future.
