PHP beat C in speed

I was reading reddit

I join in and talk shit
Suddenly i need to back up my claims(that C/C++ is fastest evar)
try to find benchmarks

Slowly back out of thread

I hope you're not serious. A language with dynamic typing and automatic garbage collection discouraged you from programming? I doubt you would be aware of its legitimate and significant flaws as a beginner and a child. You probably wouldn't have any special needs that PHP would prevent you from doing. I don't mean to be insulting, but you did say you were a beginner. That's not to excuse how awful of a language it really is, but I seriously doubt it could have given you that much trouble. I would expect a minefield like C++ to give you much more trouble.
