<troll(?)> PLEASE, for the love of god, stop improving PHP and strictly PHP-related technologies! I know it's fun and you're doing cool stuff... but you're just like the scientists doing bio weapons research because it's cool stuff to them! Let's just bury this language once and for all! </troll(?)> ...but really, considering the amount of effort and man-hours the Facebook guys invested in improving PHP, with Hiphop and now this, it really saddens me ...so much wasted resources (and I mean HUMAN resources, like hours of people's lives!) almost wasted!


Have you seen any of Facebook's extensions to PHP?


I was just thinking of Hiphop and XHP, and they both seem like a huge amount of work and I've heard about improvements to the interpreter to optimize it for their servers... of course it might all be FUD for competitors, they might actually have everything coded in Common Lisp behind the scenes ;)
