I’m using php for the last 6 months and i can pretty much do anything with it. But BIG websites like Facebook and Twitter don’t appear to use php. I want to know what languages they use and why they chose that language over php.
Is Ruby on Rails a good language to build robust and big websites? I’ve seen RoR’s video on youtube mocking other frameworks and languages. Is it really awesome?
twitter is built on Ruby on Rails
facebook uses PHP primarily, but also relies on “C++, Java, Python and Erlang” — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook#Server_infrastructure
