  • The most famous example one gets for php is Facebook. Why is it so? Was there a special reason to choose php over ruby and python?
    Also why does Facebook not house the file extensions in URL the way Google does?

    Typically, it's the technology founder(s) or initial engineering team is familiar with. Rest, lot of things get rewritten. Facebook engineering team wrote their own version of PHP and majority of their codebase now runs on HHVM.

    They are not working with the PHP version that we are working with. They made some changes in PHP core for their own work use.

    That's right. It's called HHVM aka Hip Hop Virtual Machine and they made it available for everyone: <a href="https://hhvm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HHVM | HHVM</a>
