The YSP is an inhouse language solution they came up with

The main inhouse solutions have been yScript1 [public.yahoo.com] and yScript2 [public.yahoo.com]. And YSP is not yScript2. So what is it? Is it written in Perl? Otherwise the reference to mod_perl [public.yahoo.com] wouldn´t make sense. And it wouldn´t make sense to first develope an inhouse solution for performance testing and then go on using php. Do you have any more information on YSP, Brett?

Why choose dog-slow perl?

Funny you would say that nell, when one of the advantages listed on Why not Perl? [public.yahoo.com] is FreeBSD support and performance is great. Perhaps it is not that slow after all.

Yahoo tested three technologies:


It is amazing that the language said to be dog-slow is handling most requests per second, has the highest transfer rate and the lowest processing time.
