Hi,


Thank you for moving this into a separate thread.

I'll look into HHVM in the following days/weeks but I think it's clear
that HHVM brings some nice concepts both to the language and to the
way PHP works, albeit compile it and so on.
Also reading articles like this:
http://ocramius.github.io/blog/accessing-private-php-class-members-without-reflection/
makes me very sad that this code is possible in PHP in order to
overcome speed issues of the language.
Could this be a topic of interest for more people, especially the core people?


Best regards,
Florin
