Hm, I'll admit I've spread a bit of misinformation on that matter myself, thanks for the correction. The source for my confusion (and I suspect others as well)

Hm, I'll admit I've spread a bit of misinformation on that matter myself, thanks for the correction. The source for my confusion (and I suspect others as well) was some comments around the time hip hop was made public that it basically wasn't worth using unless you were willing to put in a significant effort to write your php according to some strict guidelines. That made me peg it as something akin to pypy's rpython.
