While it is very appealing there are many reasons to do not even consider
it as this stage:
. CLA and only controlled by one single company. We had the single company
control of our engine in the past, it did UA no good.
. barely portable, relies on gcc only
. will reduce even more the amount of contributors able to participate in
the engine development (due to technical, legal or related reasons.
Please keep in mind that this is my personal take on hhvm, not "our" take
as the php dev team.
