bytecode-vm

Dialect of Python with explicit variable declaration and block scoping, with a lightweight and easy-to-embed bytecode compiler and interpreter.

PHP 8.5 reimplemented from scratch in Rust: bytecode VM, cycle-collecting GC, native mysqli/PDO. Runs the full WordPress core test suite at oracle parity on real MySQL, plus Composer, PHPUnit, Doctrine, Symfony. Current front: performance (WP suite ~1.77x the reference CPU).
