wxPHP: wxWidgets Come To PHP

[curaga]

Well at least this benchmarks http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u32q/php.php prove you wrong, and thats php running without opcache or new shiny hhvm engine. Stop your hatred already...

*rolls on floor laughing* Yes, snails can occasionally beat turtles. Now switch that to PHP vs Java.

This PHP trolling is ridiculous. PHP programmers are cheap to hire, the 3rd world countries are full of them. Sometimes you want to formally prove apps then Haskell and those are good, J2EE if you need enterprise stuff. But PHP is the common language for incompetent cheap developers. The GUI doesn't need to be fast. I'm sure a 3.7 GHz 4-core system with Geforce 780 GTX can easily run native PHP GUI apps and the fps is above 30. So it's not that bad. Also PHP supports patching the app without recompiling. Really great on RPI. Don't know about FPS on RPi though. Maybe not that good. But RPi has a fast GPU.

Here, http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r9 some more benchmarks so you can mop the floor, the point is the language performs much better with default configurations than other scripting languages. Real java applications require a whole dedicated server for them and lots of ram while you can use a cheap shared web hosting to host hundreds of web applications. If java was so fast why is eclipse, netbeans and all those java made IDE's and applications so damn slow (resource hugs I call them). I would say lua is much better and the LuaJIT project is great, but the language is not as elegant for object oriented programming.

PHP is just serving as a bridge to a library that is written in C/C++ so basically the performance will be affected only when making function calls (which is being improved on phpng), it shouldn't be affected for rendering since that is internally done by wxWidgets which uses as backend -> GTK2/3 | QT | Cocoa | Win32 So basically on a raspberry pi you have the advantage of not needing to compile which I think is great if you are directly developing on it.

Two buggy mis-designed monstrosities come together. O joy.

Incompetent programmers should not be allowed to program, especially not for the Web. Otherwise you get trivial exploits that lead to account hijacking, leaks of private sensitive data, identity theft, fraud, and so on.

Making programming easy is good. Making programming easy to fake is bad.
