Hello,
Due to lack of documentation and 'NO tuts available'-state of cpp for web apps, it is difficult for me to understand , per say, security aspects.
Facebook is using Hiphop PHP which has made it far more superior in handling so many requests, further after Google ditching python for cpp and Java(maybe a rumour but, very famous one) has created a drastic impact too.
There are client enquiries who ask me for the same flavour that Google is using... However, I need to know what are the consequences of using CPP for web app development?
So far by word of mouth I have heard / discussion with developers "while using php, asp, jsp, if compromised, you loose a site and possibly the server... but, when on direct cpp to c compiler, u dont loose website, you loose the entire server.... php jsp = sqli, csrf, etc... cpp = bof because, php goes via and works on diff OSI layer whereas CPP is quicker because, it has complete access to all resources" is this understanding correct?
I want to get into production with CPP for web apps. Hiphop is a good alternative however, people also suggest that it is comparatively not stable enough as cppCMS.
Please advice.
