Napping.Synth.Download@oschonrock @woozle @ramsey @cptwtf @IceWolf You asked if the PHP VM could be written in PHP, I gave you a repo where someone did this 13 years ago. I didn't say it was a good idea nor that it would be fast. Nor is this even fully fleshed out. People have written a Python interpreter in Python and use it to run Python. There is nothing fundamentally *preventing* you from doing it.
Chickens and Eggs exists with statically compiled languages when you need to boostrap it the first time too....
@Girgias @woozle @ramsey @cptwtf @IceWolf
This is totally not the same... because you are still running a php interpreter at the outer layer in every case. In a systems language there is only the hardware.
You are apparently unable/unwilling to understand the fundamental difference, or just really stubborn and pedantic.
And with that I conclude the one thing that always irritated me more than anything else in php: The quality of understanding and discussion.
I am out. Have a nice day.
