HipHop for scalebility?
By Rsquared
Most of us hope to have a site that requires us to take into account scale. I know there has been a few posts about using HipHop. I thought I'd add a little from my research on the topic for others. HPHP is not just a code transformer / translator. It is a broader concept where folks can write code in a simple language and get optimized exectuables. It is not an interpreter like Java or a pseudo interpreter like C#, it is optimized and simple.
Has anyone played about with this or has any considered thoughts on the matter?

Haiping Zhao, the Senior Server Engineer at Facebook, discusses how PHP, an easy to use programming language, can be transformed into semantically equivalent C++ to solve performance problems associated with the language and speed up PHP execution.

You must log in to post replies." take into account scale.. " -- depends on the order of magnitude of the scale(ing). there are quite a few elgg-based out there using just the box-shipped php code-base which handles very, very 'large' sites.
