Hello there,
some time ago I had a discussion on #php.de with Ulf Wendel and
Johann-Peter Hartmann about Advanced Data Types (short: ADT; data structures
like Hashes, Linked Lists, Trees, ...) in PHP, because we needed efficient
implementation of those for a project.
We thought about implementing those structures at first in PHP itself, but
then port the result to C at a later time.
Later I had a discussion with Sterling Hughes whether he could help us
with the implementation of our somewhen-to-be-coded ADT extension for PHP.
And he offered help beyond anything we expected: He promised to write such
an extension by himself.
Today I had another discussion with Sterling. He told me that he's coming
along nicely with the development of his ADT extension but he now has doubts
if the implementation as an extension is really what we want for PHP.
We agreed that it would be by far better for PHP as a language to have
those data types "available in the core", nut as "just" an extension.
So, here is what it comes down to: What do you think about this?
Yours,
Sebastian
PS: All the best wishes at this point for Sterling's health. He had an
accident while trying to use a snowboard (he got a head concussion,
I hope I use the right term here) and must attend to his bed for
another week.
