HipHop for PHP – what now ?
6 months ago, Facebook unveiled Hip Hop, with impressive performance gains.
The announcement corresponds to reality, reducing CPU consumption by about 50%. But the team did not stop there, and was successful in optimizing a bit more speed and thus performance. Although the code is open source and begins to be deployed to other PHP projects like Drupal, MediaWiki, phpBB, WordPress.
Scott of Facebook shows the direction of the next estimates as support for FreeBSD and 32-bit environments or as Mac OS X.

WordPress : PHP 4 and MySQL 4 End of Life Announcement
Our approach with WordPress has always been to make it run on common server configurations. We want users to have flexibility when choosing a host for their precious content. Because of this strategy, WordPress runs pretty much anywhere. Web hosting platforms, however, change over time, and we occasionally are able to reevaluate some of the requirements for running WordPress. Now is one of those times. You probably guessed it from the title — we’re finally ready to announce the end of support for PHP 4 and MySQL 4!
First up, the announcement that developers really care about. WordPress 3.1, due in late 2010, will be the last version of WordPress to support PHP 4.
