    I may be wrong on this, but I thought I had heard that Facebook is written in PHP and then this is 'compiled' into c++ that is actually run for performance reasons

    No, It wasn't a joke - and I was right, although they don't any more. Facebook wrote a php to c++ compiler called HipHop. Facebook switched all its production servers to using HipHop in early 2010. Since 2013 they now use a JIT compilation engine for php - also developed by Facebook.

    See

    ... and others
