Facebook Rewrites PHP Runtime For Speed 295
VonGuard writes "Facebook has gotten fed up with the speed of PHP. The company has been working on a skunkworks project to rewrite the PHP runtime, and on Tuesday of this week, they will be announcing the availability of their new PHP runtime as an open source project. The rumor around this began last week when the Facebook team invited some of the core PHP contributors to their campus to discuss some new open source project. I've written up everything I know about this story on the SD Times Blog."

PHP is for lazy developers. I develop my webapps in C and I even wrote my own httpd to improve performance.

You want speed use languages that can deliver and don't try to rewrite slow scripting languages to do the job of the trusted old methods, assembler and C.

C is for lazy coders if you ask me. I hand code and tune assembly language programs on an altair 8800 flipping switches on the front panel. As all real programmers should do.

Webapps are for lazy developers. I sip my coffee, causing a multiply entangled photon to collapse and resolve the location of countless electrons throughout the universe, spurring various exotic species of butterflies to flap their wings a twitch differently, which in turn subtly alters the flow of the viscid gaseous matter in Earth and various other planets, affecting the touch organs of living matter that can feel moving fluid, which messenger or nervous impulses relay to their minds, creating customer-tailored web content for my clients.

You're hitting the firewall. That's the decoy page you're seeing.
Telnet is blocked in inetd.conf, you'll have to ssh.
