   @evan: did you compare !statusnet performance *with HipHop* to pump.io? HipHop might save as much as node: identi.ca/notice/100886935

     @arnebab The problem is less the PHP than MySQL.

     HipHop is pretty great, I agree.

     @evan then why did you switch to node.js?

     Ah. "The problem with _IDENTI.CA_ is more about MySQL than PHP." For pump.io, I wanted a low-profile, standalone server. PHP is bad at that.

     I also considered C++, Java, Go, and Rust. node.js has the right mix of community and performance.

     @evan so you wanted something which people can run on their private computers or phones?

     @evan besides: thank you for your levelheaded answers, even though I get a bit emotional with the topic!

     No, something that works as a development tool, like memcached or rabbitmq.

     @arnebab Hard to feel bad that you're emotional about the software I've worked so hard on for five years.
