Title: Hip Hop for PHP
Post by: Jared on Wednesday, February 03, 2010, 20:32:22 PM

Little did we know that, for the last six months, Facebook has made use of a custom compiler for PHP that they refer to as "Hip Hop." Essentially, it takes your PHP source code, and converts it into C++, and is then compiled with G++. As a result, they've managed to reduce their CPU usage by 50%. This project has apparently been in development for the last two years, but has only today been released to the community.
