Hello, if you would drop zend engine as is and the idea behind it (which is most difficult thing to admit and accept), then use llvm-core. Making: -- lexer, parser grammar -- reference counting -- type hint policies -- builtins container -- JITTER for compatibility. -- bytecode -- LLVM bytecode

I did not intent to write anything else in this thread, but since someone reverted the edits I made to fix the description of the P++ idea in the poll, I have to. One of the many ways in which this poll was problematic is that it substantially misrepresents the idea - while claiming that this is

Power of democracy, maturity and love(for this same project PHP), I guess. If this same love and energy could be put in place to know the directions and future PHP hold(like are we moving forward or not), that will seriously be a game changer. On Thu, Aug 15, 2019, 2:00 PM Kris Craig wrote: >
