EyeOS is improving server side.

A post on eyeOS blog regarding speed on sever side caught my attention, because I'm not really good on literature, I'll highlight the parts of the post I found interesting:

The part to keep in mind for the future as a developer, and if you are aiming to private clouding market as an alternative to proprietary clouding.

After reviewing comparative speed and efficiency researches, any person could say that developing a webpage in C++ could be a very good idea, better than developing it using PHP. However, the programming process for a webpage will be more complex and will involve more financial resources, since it means finding a programming team with high C++ knowledge, which is more difficult than finding a skilled team in PHP.

Funny to see that all the fancy programming languages can't overcome on speed and performance the old experienced programming languages, why? On my eyes, because before the computer boom the engineers had the time and short resources to develop high quality programming languages without the marketing, or back on that time the marketing came from the quality of the product, not the advertises.

What's worth to try, and it also opens up a new tests on server side.

For this reason we have decided to use HIPHOP to translate eyeOS to C++ and upload it to try.eyeos.org to see and study how it works at first-hand.  Moreover, we have make all kind of modifications in the server to replace other internal components, such as Apache that has been replaced with NGinx in almost all the platform and adding cache systems, that reduces the workload on the server side and the answer times for the user.

Those small details can make a big impact in the overall product, if that works out we may see a blooming eyeOS.
