There’s a lot of very interesting stuff going on in the PHP scene right now, I have the feeling this quite often bashed language gets more and more interesting every day. Today sitepoint.com published an interview [[1]]http://www.sitepoint.com/interview-appserver-io-crew/ with the guys behind appserver.io, a free and open-source (and hopefully also with excellent paid hosting services) multithreaded server, ironically written in PHP itself ! Yes, full and parallel usage of all cores (and threads on hyperthreaded CPUs)! No need to install Apache, NGINX or similar. And this seems to be really fast! I guess this will become a very important project … More updates on that soon.
