PHP Scales As Well As Java 627
mactari writes "Jack Herrington at the O'Reilly Network has had the audacity to claim that
both PHP and J2EE architecture... are converging on the same design [regarding scalability]. Can it be that he's disproven the idea that 'Java scales and scripting languages don't' when he says, 'The idea that PHP does not scale is clearly false at the performance level'?
Even if a little oversimplified (ignores horizontal scaling), it's an interesting comparison that takes a peek at the architecture beneath both hypes."

Well, if it were in PHP it wouldn't need to be 100,000 lines. It would be more like 5,000. *smirk*
