And just because I like to point out your constant factual errors.

Facebook didn't in fact convert all their PHP code to C++.
You're just making stuff up to support your argument.
Their original codebase probably sucked and they needed to improve performance back in 2010-2011.
They dabbled with a few ideas, one of them converting parts of their codebase to C++ for performance.
But my god, if you understood software engineering you'd realize you can't just convert an entire codebase like that and be done. It's not practical. The resultant C++ code is not human-readable/maintainable.
That's why they shifted to developing HHVM
"
By many accounts HPHPc fulfilled its goals, especially within Facebook as it allowed facebook.com to run much faster while using fewer resources. However, in early 2013 Facebook deprecated HPHPc in favor of the
HipHop Virtual Machine (HHVM), which is a
just-in-time (JIT) compilation-based execution engine for PHP, also developed by Facebook.
[2][9] There were many reasons for this; one of them was HPHPc's flattened curve for further performance improvements. Also, HPHPc did not fully support the PHP language, including the create_function() and eval() constructs, and it involved a specific time- and resource-consuming deployment process that required a bigger than 1 GB binary to be compiled and distributed to many servers in short order. In addition, maintaining HPHPc and HPHPi in parallel (as they needed to be, for the consistency of production and development environments) was becoming cumbersome. Finally, HPHPc was not a drop-in replacement for Zend, requiring external customers to change their whole development and deployment processes to use HPHPc.

Please, just stop making stuff up. You'll never progress as a developer with that attitude.
No, it's not billions of dollars. VPS's are cheap.
The python on a $24/mo VPS beats the C on a $7/mo vps.
Is that billions of dollars?

You're impressed by someone who's been coding for 10 years. I've been in the game for 30.
Seriously enough. I'm out.
