Weblog:   The Pet Store.... Again
Subject:   LAMP
Date:   2002-11-05 01:03:47
From:   jbond
I would love to see the Pet Store app written for a LAMP platform and benchmarked against .Net and Java. It might not be "Industrial strength", as easy to maintain, and do all sorts of nasty things like mix app and presentation layers but I have a sneaking suspicion it would run faster.

    That attitude is wrong, regardless of the language.

    There's no need to do a sloppy unmaintainable version. The best thing would be to write a really great version in Perl using CPAN modules and solid OO design. It would probably still outperform the Java version.

    Interesting! I have a sneaking desire to see it implemented on a mod_perl platform, with an emphasis on code cleanliness and reusability. Hmmm....future project maybe :-)
