Some interesting links about PHP. PHP 6 may use the Parrot virtual machine to run. That would be very interesting, for example when the Perl guys port CPAN to Parrot, PHP would have access to that vast, vast library of code.

Compiling PHP to Parrot (or .NET or Java) would speed up the code, reduce the memory consumption and just make everything much more nicer. But until we get that, there are a few PHP op-code cachers and PHC a PHP compiler. Sweet.
