What is nasty about pointing out this difference in scope?<p>Wasabi is an app-specific dialect of VBScript used by one company to deploy a bug tracker to small teams.   HipHop is a general-purpose PHP compiler whose output is used at scale by the world's largest social networking site.<p>I can write a file system that will work fine on my computer, with my workload, and maybe even write an essay about how productive that makes me.    But I don't think you'd want to install it.<p>These two projects are not in the same league - they're not  even in the same sport - and so I am baffled to see Wasabi come up in this thread at all.
