    then you don’t really know what you’re doing yet.

    Can you elaborate on this? How are you guys making PHP so performant? Do you call C programs from it or something?

      No, we just use good algorithmic approaches including an emphasis on lazy evaluation. It’d take out application like 20x as long to compute 2+2 compared to one written in C but computation in PHP isn’t our main bottleneck - it’s efficient network connection handling and psql query performance.

      Our PHP code is maintainable and expressive that makes it much easier to tune performance where it counts.
