Can you post some proof ? I find it hard to believe for a language that is weaktyped to outperform strongtyped , unless they get bloated with features . The only thing google shoves me are results with comparison of php 7 and hhvm . EDIT Also some tests of raw functions handling , that were written in purpose of showing that php 7 outperforms other languages . <| sep |> I ' d say victim culture is the greater threat here . <| sep |> Empty wallets <| sep |> I have no doubt that all of the American generals know each other by reputation . Honestly , I ' d expect that most colonels would know all the generals by reputation as well . Maybe I ' m wrong , but I would not expect that a Army 1 star in Georgia and a Navy 2 star in Hawaii would know each other if they met by chance on the street in Oregon out of uniform . My country ' s military is so small that ALL of the generals from all branches meet with each other as one group on a regular basis .
