in which language, facebook is written?

Khawaja Naveed Haider | 14 years ago

From what I know, Facebook is made in PHP but they created a "compiler" for PHP. So they code in PHP and then compile it to multiply performance increase. Correct me if I'm wrong

Well i think they use AJAX for the real time on the spot update. Like you post a comment and it updated without refreshing the page. I don't know is it right or not... :D

Yup, thats AJAX for posting (like Jawab uses for voting) and then they have "Push AJAX" or Comet so your page gets updated when someone else posts. It can be implemented in any language.

@Usama: Then why don't you apply ajax in comments? It would be more better and the website will feel very light.
