CSDN reportsAlex Handy, senior editor of SDTimes, broke the news in his blog. Last week, Facebook invited the PHP core team to discuss their new project: the PHP Runtime Library rewritten from scratch. On Tuesday, they will officially release the project and open-source it.

Handy believes that this is what Facebook recruited a PHP expert two years ago.

However, some netizens commented on their blog that Facebook developed a PHP compiler. That is to say, the Facebook version of PHP will change from a dynamic language to a pre-compiled Security language. This will increase PHP speed by 10 times.

Why does Facebook need to rewrite the PHP Runtime library or develop the compiler? Obviously, the speed and performance of PHP cannot satisfy Facebook. They decided to do it themselves.

Perhaps I heard the news. Google Android core developer Cedric Beust, founder of the TestNG project, said on Twitter:

I love PHP for how quickly I get things done but hate it for the uugly code it forces me to write. We need a real OO web language.

(I love PHP, which enables me to quickly complete my work; I hate PHP and I have to use it to write ugly code. We need a real OO Web language .)

What is the truth about this rumor? Let's wait and see.
