Isn’t PHP less efficient compared to other languages? I think there are better options out there.
Do you think Facebook will abandon PHP? (just like Twitter partly left Ruby on Rails)
I just wanted to hear your opinion.
I think you’re making a pretty big assumption saying that PHP is not optimized for large web sties. There are plenty of mechanisms to make pretty much any language work for any size web site. These mechanisms generally fall into one of two categories
With that said, I don’t think Facebook will abandon PHP. The amount of work to re-write functionality just does not make business sense. New functionality or ventures may be written in different languages (Ruby, C#, Java, Scala are possibilities).
