I think the idea is you can target PHP so as to write code that is compatible with a particular Web development ecosystem while avoiding PHP syntax. For example, if I had Wordpress site running and needed to write a plugin or an extension I'd rather do it in something other than PHP. I've not used Mammouth so I don't know if plays out nicer than just plain PHP, but I like the idea.
