Hi all,
I want to publicly announce a new JVM language PHP.reboot.
It's as far as I know the first reboot of an existing language :)
The idea is to keep the spirit of PHP but change its syntax
to natively support XML, SQL, JSON, XPath/XQuery, Perl5 regex, etc.
Embedding those DSL provides several benefits:
- better readability
- variable values are correctly escaped by default (no SQL injection, etc)
- integration into a common runtime type system which avoid runtime
conversions
Unlike PHP wich is based on C runtime, PHP.reboot is based on the JVM
which natively supports unicode, exceptions and provides
a runtime optimizing environment.
PHP.reboot uses a gradual type system (not yet finished) and will soon get a
runtime compiler thanks to JSR 292 API. The interpreter already use this API
to speed up method calls and member access.
The is no binary release yet but the source are available here:
http://code.google.com/p/phpreboot/
enjoy,
Rémi
