As far as I know, PHP extensions are written in C, with a lot of magic PHPey stuff thrown in in order to register C functions as PHP functions. See: http://devzone.zend.com/article/1021 Ideally, though, what is needed is a Parrot[1] library/extension/thingie that will run on any parrot-supported language. Unifying Perl+Python+PHP sounded like a great idea in 2006, but since then I'm mostly unaware of Parrot development.
