Of course at some stage most programming languages are converted down to lower level codes. I guess I should have said anything that is comparable to what Facebook is doing with HipHop. > Google's GWT, converts Java to Javascript. I don't know much about this one, so I'll give it to you on this one. But note that Javascript is way more flexible/dynamic than Java. The reverse (Javascript to Java converter) will be significantly far more difficult. And the idea of GWT here is to leverage Java strictness to weed out bugs (and sloppiness) that usually happens so easily in Javascript. So in our case, PHP to C++ would be like Javascript to Java. Anyway, this is just my initial reaction to this HipHop thing.
