In a semi-joke but oddly real concept. I get that the language proposals (c++) are half jokes. But if we're going down that road, why don't we consider rpython and building on top of HippyVM that's already partially built... It would have a number of advantages over C:
1. It compiles to C, so should generate portable code. 2. Can support JIT compilation for better performance 3. Has proven its performance already (even without JIT) 4. It's a higher level language with memory management (no need to worry about frees and the like) 5. It gives us all our nice OOP features (which can make certain tasks FAR easier). A not-so-serious, but half-serious idea... Anthony On Sat, Jan 12, 2013 at 10:58 AM, guilhermebla...@gmail.com < guilhermebla...@gmail.com> wrote: > Not really insane. > > PHPPHP is very powerful.
