Facebook wrote a new runtime and has, over time, changed the language rather significantly (eg strong static typing, async/await, generics, overhauled much of the standard library.) It's called Hack. At this point, I don't think you could reasonably say facebook's written in php any more than you could say various c++ projects are written in C.

Google would never let YouTube use PHP. I guess it did originally though.

YouTube was originally Python, not PHP.

Afaik at least facebook uses a heavily modified version of PHP ? No way they would run it pure.
