This is quite interesting to me, as I have encountered various diffuse perspectives—without having formed my own yet—on the use of &#39;interpreted&#39; vs. &#39;compiled&#39; languages.<br/><br/>Even though I am a computer scientist, I haven&#39;t worked much (if at all) with web technologies in the past ten years. However, I still remember that, back in the day (Typo3 era), I was often reluctant to use JavaScript-heavy frontends, as they tended to make parsing more difficult and, in my experience, worked against the principles of open and distributed data.<br/><br/>That’s why I’m so eager to understand the reasoning behind choosing PHP for this project. I&#39;ve often heard people say that PHP is &#39;slow&#39; because it&#39;s interpreted, while compiled languages like Ruby are supposedly faster—but I assume that&#39;s an oversimplification. I&#39;m really interested in learning more about the actual trade-offs in federated web applications. What makes PHP a strong choice in this case?<br/><br/>No pressure to answer in detail—just curious, and if you have any good references on this topic, I’d love to check them out! 😀 2025-02-06T18:09:32Z
