Wow, okay, so it translates PHP into C++ and then compiles it with gcc. That’s… interesting. Here’s what’s more interesting, if you ask me:
We are proud to say that at this point, we are serving over 90% of [Facebook’s] Web traffic using HipHop, all only six months after deployment.
That’s pretty damn fast, and super impressive if true. I can’t imagine the amount of infrastructure that would need touching for this kind of transition. You have to work with the backend devs and the sysadmins and pretty much everyone. That’s no small feat at a company the size of Facebook. Kudos.
