I want to remind everyone on the thread that code does not only have to be written, which is the "easy part", but it also has to be supported by everyone into the future and chances that the original author sticks around are not that high to do it.
The Rust thing is shitposting for the sake of shitposting and memeing on the theme "rust solves everything" and "lets rewrite everything into Rust". Here's a link with the reminder of the hard rules php-src and internals have: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/docs/mailinglist-rules.md And here's the wiki page on the internals etiquette: https://wiki.php.net/email_etiquette_for_people_new_to_php_internals PHP has C as core and has allowed C++ for extensions. Expanding that support is a no-brainer, especially since modern C++ has stepped up in major ways and I don't think C sees a lot of development any more, so it makes sense to move towards C++. The only thing people on this thread need to agree on is the timeline for expanding that support. I would suggest adopting a multi-year schedule through multiple PHP versions and get that show on the road. -- Arvīds Godjuks +371 26 851 664 arvids.godj...@gmail.com Telegram: @psihius https://t.me/psihius
