Re: Is it possible introduce HHVM into PHP kernel tree?

I would be very happy with this decision, but I have some concerns too. Will detail each one - CLA As Pierre mentioned - Existing extension (read as PECL) support There're a lot of existing PECL extensions, that are tied to ZE. While it would be a collective effort to migrate existing ones to HHVM, it would be a huge effort for everyone, not only core. I foresee a lot of discrepancies during this transition. Like possible BC breaks, such as some I've seen with thread (HHVM) support compared to pthreads (PHP). If HHVM was able to provide a wrapper support for ZE API, that would simplify a lot of work around existing PECL extensions and 3rd party contributors. - Code organization After some time around php internals, you get used to its structure and where everything is implemented/organized. I am trying to regularly contribute to HHVM and keep my tools compatible. I find myself relying on search most of the time to find where things are. =\ It may be my lack of experience, but that's what I personally feel. - Compatibility A lot of effort is needed to get everything compatible, up and running. This requires more and more effort.
