Replying to a 5 year old message.

I read once that Facebook was written in PHP, and over time it was too much work to change it, so they came up with a way to compile PHP so it executed faster.  I'm not sure if they are still using it today -- I would suppose not.  

But PHP has always seemed very powerful to me, and can do most anything.  However since it's now 2021, I don't think it's much in favor anymore.  It seems these days all the kids want to code in Rust or Go, or Python for DevOps.
