Time. the reason they wrote php is because writing web apps in c++ takes so much time as to be unreasonable. you shouldn't have to worry about memory management when writing web applications. yeah, c is faster, but we're talking about faster than really fast :) java was a no-go because is is actually almost as expensive to develop with than c++, it's not really _designed_ for doing web development specifically. > I'd love to.

If you called ob_start() wouldn't that solve the problem? because those apps tend to think the session name is phpsessid, and a bunch of other things. that was offhand, there are definitely ways of making it work. > One last question: how does binarycloud compare to something like the > Midguard project? Midguard is a CMS. one of the binarycloud modules (or more correctly, a couple of the modules) will combine to form a CMS. the difference is that bc is designed to support anything php supports, it's not an isolated app with some supporting infrastructure. _alex |
