Not correct, IMHO. "Scalability" has virtually nothing to do with the
language.

If that's the case, then why did Facebook transform their PHP scripts to C, and
compile it? It seems to me that runtime efficiency (performance) is the first
key to scalability. If your applications require less CPU, then CPU is less
likely to be a bottleneck. The box will handle more work.

But is there more to scalability, than language efficiency?
