> trying to rewrite Etsy's backend in Scala and MongoDB.
The first Sid came in and wanted to rewrite in C++.
Then the second Sid wanted to rewrite in Java.
The whole time the HTML is 25% space chars, served, sent, received, discarded, because the PHP guy likes deep indentation, and the DB is constantly burning like the sun because all the business logic is in stored procedures.
(That was the problem, not which abstraction the servers are written in, since all they do is pass data back and forth to the fiery inferno of the database.)
