Great to hear about PHP. I hope you don't mind a question. Were you
able to reuse the Python object model for your PHP interpreter, or
is the PHP object model too different?

No, we weren't. We're reusing the Zend frontend and running (fast) the
resulting bytecode, therefore we need to accept its idiosyncrasies. The
references are way too weird to match the Python object model, I think.
Also, PHP is not as expressive as Python, therefore reusing all the
cleverness of the PyPy object model might be overkill. Long story short,
we're doing our best to match Zend's craziness while running faster.
