This just in. US forces take over a major site engine named PHP, which provides dynamic content to millions of sites. The US government has taken over the completion by a US company known as Facebook to create a fork of an absolute secure and clean solution for major PHP driven websites, eager to make the conversion.

corbin Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Wow.... I can actually see this majorly catching on if it's easy enough to use and stable. Then again, I guess most sites don't need that extra speed lol. Nifty though!

Yeh, trust a facebook developer to create something great and kill it by trying to be cool when he hasn't got the first clue of what cool is. I think it's ironic that these people develop a 'social network' that connects millions of people all over the world, yet lack completely in any form of social skills...

salathe Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Kudos to Facebook for open sourcing the tool and it obviously suits their needs very well. As for whether this will become widely used outside Facebook, that's really not the point. Chances are, most of PHPFreaks' membership won't be needing a PHP to C++ compiler anytime soon (for anything other than educational value).
