I'd expect a compiled application to be faster than an opcode cache (which is intermediate) but I have doubts about the existence of hyperphp. That said, Facebook have contributed to memcache and other open source projects in the past. Given that most of Facebook is cached, it seems unlikely that they would try to optimise a language. Languages don't scale!<div>

I would agree with you there, and it would produce similar performance gains. I suspect the interview was either faked, or that the employee was misadvised as to what the project was about - and most companies come up with clever names for internal projects... David will know exactly what I mean if I say the phrase "NewNet"...<div>

I don't know whether that interview is fake or real... doesn't APC (and<br>
other op-code caches) make the point of 'hyperphp' (compiled 'php')<br>
redundant?<br>
<br>
Perhaps I'm missing something.<br>
