    Facebook operates and maintains petabytes of data on their servers and powers the website through PHP. Facebook's engineers have figured out a way to turn PHP code into highly optimized C++ code to handle the performance issues. I'm wondering whether anyone can offer more insights into why this is done and how it happens. If any of the Facebook engineers is reading this post; we'd love to hear from you 😀

    I think it'd be a great learning for all the Computer Science Engineers here.

    I don't know PHP.. but I think PHP is a interpreted language. i.e. compiled at run time while C++ or java are compiled once and at run time only compiled code used.
    One more reason is C/C++ can access hardware directly, that is why these code used in simulation system.

    I guess they've mentioned it on their engineering page. I also remember their engineers talking about it in one of their videos (don't have the link though).
