Derick is probably too busy to finish SRM all alone, and my C skills are way too bad to help him :) So this gets off-topic here, but what about writing something like SRM in PHP itself to avoid the need of porting the part written in C :)? I asked Derick about this at the PHP Conference and IIRC, he said that "Hive" from the Zend Coding Contest tried to do so? The "server" itself would run using php-cli and listen on a socket. Let alone performance and multithreading/-processing (PCNTL?), one could try to do the RPC/RMI part by having "proxy" objects that perform (un)marshaling. The overload language features could be used to make these proxies "feel" like the remote ones. Passing objects to/from the server could work by (un)serializing the objects, though the current implementation lacks support for re-establishing object identity (hint, hint ;). Volunteers :)?
