Does Facebook create a PHP compiler?
From people who visited the office of developers of Facebook, there was information about what is now busy with a large team of programmers of this project. Apparently, they rewrite PHP scripts again. As you know, 90% of Facebook code is written in PHP.
It is said that this work has been going on for quite some time, but it is already close to completion. Perhaps in the coming days, some libraries will be published under an open source license. True, it is still not known exactly what this project is.
The most likely version is that the result of their work will be something like a PHP compiler. With it, you can allegedly speed up the execution of the program code almost five times and reduce the CPU load on the servers by 80%. The same information is confirmed by one of the Facebook employees on condition of anonymity (they all signed the NDA). He speaks of a certain HPHP (Hyper-PHP), which is practically a new version of the language.
