Favourite talk so far, very well presented. Its great to see some of the stuff facebook are giving back to PHP. Some great additional PHP functions to look into in esp. fb_parallel_query() ?
HiPHoP for PHP
Scott MacVicar (11.Jun.2010 at 16:45)
Talk at Dutch PHP Conference 2010 (English - UK)
HipHop transforms PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then compiles it using g++. It allows developers to continue writing complex logical directly with PHP but leverages the speed benefits of C++. HipHop is more than just a theoretical exercise and currently powers the majority of Facebook servers. This session will cover using HipHop and some of the code changes required to use it.

Scott is very well-informed and gave a great talk, funny and a nice narrative. Plus he had the guts to demo hiphop live, which was cool.

I've seen Scott's HipHop for PHP talk evolve quite significantly since the FOSDEM in Belgium. It started with an explanation of the concept, but now it's quite practical (which I like).
I like the ambition of the project and I love the "pirate style" attitude Scott brings to the people. I learned a lot about the evolution of the project and I enjoyed watching Scott talk about it.

Enjoyable talk to end the day with. Not seen anything about HiPHoP until this and it was an excellent introduction.

Scott gave a compelling presentation about Facebook, and their HipHop PHP compiler/transformator. He had the guts to demo it live on stage, which was really cool. Nothing speaks for a project like running the same codes four times as fast :)
Scott handled the tricky questions like a pro, when asked what happens when the generated executable crashes.

Nice and entertaining talk, he convinced me to have a close look at HipHop.

Interesting insight on HiPHoP for PHP. The Facebook numbers at the beginning were impressive. The optimization gained from the HiPHoP compiler were equally impressive. Got me inspired to at least try it out some time.
