- pvg 17y agoChances are because this is likely to be faster and more compatible. I don't know how what the performance of the IBM one is like but the Quercus pages say "Performance is 4x mod_php and is comparable with PHP accelerator performance.". In other words, about as fast as PHP.

- ZeroGravitas 17y agoProject Zero isn't open source. "This community is an experiment in a new way to build commercial software, an approach we are calling Community-Driven Commercial Development. Community-Driven means that we want feedback, insight, suggestions, criticism, and dialogs with you, the users of Project Zero. This interaction will yield a better solution that targets the problems you have and a technology that truly delivers on its objectives. Commercial means that this is not an open source project. We are still building commercial software here, as the licensing makes clear, but we are doing it in a more transparent fashion." http://www.projectzero.org/about/ http://www.projectzero.org/about/
