I have to wonder why people are so excited about a PHP compiler when there's been an open-source one out that runs on top of the IBM Java JIT for a while. http://www.projectzero.org/
That is by far one of the worst solutions I've heard to the problem. I really feel bad for anyone who is hired to work on your code and told that it was written in PHP, only to look at a compiler generated mess.
I usually try to be respectful of anybody making the effort of publishing open source code, but I'm getting pretty tired of you spamming your CMS everywhere I look.
Especially since it is made up of exactly the same kind of procedural spaghetti that makes WordPress such a joy to work with... "clean php5.3+" my ass.
then take my upvote, I agree 100%, I'm saying exactly this to many people and they just roll their eyes (to be fair I don't use PHP anymore but I certainly don't share the despect which others have)
fun thing I also wanted to add a point about documentation but you did it yourself, life is fun sometimes :)
saw this and immediately upvoted b/c i really want something a lot like this.
went to github and realized i won't use it b/c it's implemented in PHP, i probably don't want exactly what this is, and i don't want to edit/debug PHP (not on my own time, anyway).
is that myopic? anyway, that was my honest, off-the-cuff response to the post.

Well that's pretty much PHP in a nutshell, no news there.
Yeah, I'm getting the feeling that the OP has no idea of PHP frameworks (or anything that has happened with PHP in the last 5+ years for that matter), and prefers to throw the baby out with the bathwater because of this.
