Great news. HHVM and now PHP 5.7, both with JIT - the future of PHP looks bright.
- dparoski 13y agoTo my knowledge a JIT compiler is not being added to PHP 5.7. Can you clarify your comment or provide a link to the source where you heard this?
- captain_mars 13y agoI'm not the person you replied to, but I got the same impression. The linked email in turn links to the PHP NG page (https://wiki.php.net/phpng https://wiki.php.net/phpng) on which the version number mentioned is 5.7.0-dev
- smsm42 13y agoWhile it indeed is marked as 5.7-dev, which is because it is forked from master branch which is always marked next minor version from current release one (5.6), it is very likely that it would be next major version. The changes in this refactoring are extensive and deep, and more are probably to follow. Pretty much every extension will need to be ported. This is what major versions are for.
