What inspiration did you take from PHP?
- kijin 5y agoCurly braces and semicolons? Wait, that's actually C. The README showcases some opcodes. Maybe they borrowed PHP's bytecode format or the VM design? If true, that would actually be a pretty neat thing to borrow, since PHP has made a lot of improvement in VM performance and memory management lately.
- ryanmccullagh 5y agoPHP was a reference for me in terms of the parser generator because php-src is implemented with Flex and Bison. However, come to think of it, it's more close to Python and C then it is PHP.
