From what I remember Andrei saying, they write their code in C++ and
compile it to php, or something like that.
Besides, facebook was a pet project by a single person that accidentally
grew into an empire. Apple was around long before Steve Jobs brought Next
Step OS (and it's usage of Objective-C) to Apple to become MacOS. You
can't really argue that Mac is a horrible OS, it may not suit your tastes,
but it performs well.
Nick, please ignore this thread.
