darthcamaro writes "As expected, Facebook today announced a new
runtime for PHP, called HipHop. What wasn't expected were a few key
revelations disclosed today by Facebook developer David Recordan. As
it turns out Facebook has been running HipHop for months and it now
power 90 percent of their servers — it's not a skunkworks project it's
a Live production technology. It's also not just a runtime, it's also
a new webserver. 'In general, Apache is a great Web server, but when
we were looking at how we get the next half percent or percent of
performance, we didn't need all the features that Apache offers,"
Recordon said. He added, however, that he hopes an open source project
will one day emerge around making HipHop work with Apache Web
servers.'"
