Introducing: The next big thing

If you have recently updated your SVN checkout, you may have seen a line like the following flying by:

U    devel/xp/trunk/rfc/0052.rfc.txt

RFC #0052? Wait? Wasn't that this really old idea about something with compilation and total world domination? Right - scroll up a couple of lines in that svn update output and find well-sounding names ranging from DeadCodeElimination, Operator and TypeInstance to DefaultDiagnosticListener.

Yes, we now have a compiler!

It's optional, yes, and it doesn't require any special PHP setup, .dll, .so, .bundle, configuration, or anything else to work. Just XP.

So, over the next time, we will provide a series of blog entries introducing the language, the compiler, optimizations, checks, the API. Stay tuned
