This will be a <a href="http://opensourcebridge.org/sessions/505">BoF session</a>
I'm Very pleased to announce that <a href="http://www.facebook.com/hzhao">Haiping</a>, Senior Server Engineer at facebook and main engineer behind <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/358">HipHop for PHP</a> will be meeting with the PDXPHP group on June 3rd.  HipHop is one of the major developments in the PHP-verse as of late and it's announcement certainly generated quite a bit of hubbub.  Be sure to come down to learn all about HipHop and related work, plus what it's like being an engineer at Facebook.
<blockquote><em>HipHop for PHP isn't technically a compiler itself. Rather it is a source code transformer. HipHop programmatically transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then uses g++ to compile it. HipHop executes the source code in a semantically equivalent manner and sacrifices some rarely used features â such as eval() â in exchange for improved performance. HipHop includes a code transformer, a reimplementation of PHP's runtime system, and a rewrite of many common PHP Extensions to take advantage of these performance optimizations.</em></blockquote> |
