PHP 5.4.0 releasedPHP 5.4.0 releasedPosted Mar 3, 2012 14:50 UTC (Sat) by rfunk (subscriber, #4054)In reply to: PHP 5.4.0 released by Cato Parent article: PHP 5.4.0 released
PHP-FPM is a much better solution than fastcgi if you need that sort of thing; people who are running Apache (and therefore don't have huge traffic issues) generally don't though. For shared hosting, suPHP improves security greatly by running as the user who owns the file. (However, I haven't really paid much attention to shared hosting myself.)
I can't speak for Python, but the Ruby world abandoned fastcgi years ago because of its many problems, in favor of Java-style middleware layers.

Actually PHP-FPM is a FastCGI implementation, with the F standing for FastCGI: http://php-fpm.org/
suPHP is similar to suexec and often used with CGI but that doesn't change my point that mod_php is not used on shared hosting (or at least responsible shared hosting).
On Python and Ruby, I just meant the principle of having a persistent interpreter process running outside the web server, not FastCGI specifically.

Ah, sorry, I was actually thinking of suexec when I said suPHP. Either way, I'm not very much concerned with shared hosting.
I see a big difference between fastcgi and using an application server, possibly because I remember the pain of using fastcgi with Ruby, and the major differences when I set up an application server instead.
