[request] hiphop

would be nice to have the just released hiphop-php in aur soon.

HipHop is a source code transformer which transforms PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then compiles it using g++.

Re: [request] hiphop

ah yes.  this project is interesting, but i find it slightly humorous at the same time.  having been a full-time PHP developer for some years... PHP is NOT by any means the be all end all language that people seem to think.  its a language to make FRONT end web development easier; an ungodly number of things that do not belong can now be compiled into it, and thus people try to force it where is doesnt belong.  it's not a general purpose language. period.  and seriously, do people like recompiling for every little thing?

anyways, aside from that completely unhelpful paragraph, a git package is very easy to build.  start here:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 95#p675295

and tweak it until you have a proper PKGBUILD.

[EDIT] bah, don't use the git routine from that post.  it does work, but not like i wanted.  it usually ends up downloading the whole repo each time.

I agreed with you, PHP is not a general purpose language, but Perl it is. Some people try to do something in PHP that can be more efficiently in Perl.
Btw, I think the need of doing the things faster in web pages will change a little the purpose of PHP.
