I've written that language to make you awesome.

PHP.reboot is a reboot of PHP, each Hollywood movie has its own reboot, why not doing the same for one of the most popular programming language. The aim is to keep the philosophy of PHP but adapt it to be more in sync with the Web of 2010. Quick links: Highlights: - less $, less ';' like in javascript
- secure by default: no eval, no magic quotes/string interpolation
- full unicode support
- no from/to string auto-conversion
- XML literal
- JSON literal
- a SQL compatible syntax
- XPath/XQuery compatible syntax
- Perl 5 regex literal
- URI/file literal
- a dynamic language with duck typing and a gradual type system
- fast as Java thanks to a runtime profiler/optimizer and JSR 292 API
- provide an embedded database derby and a standalone web server grizzly by default
- can run on top of any JEE stacks, or android, it's a JVM language !
PHP.reboot works this latest beta release of jdk7. Or with any java6 jdks thanks to the jsr292-backport. But because some samples are better than long a speech: <html>
<title>hello PHP.reboot</title>
<body>
<h1>
{
echo "Hello World !"
}
</h1>
</body>
</html> - Language as close as possible to PHP
function fibo(a) {
if (a == 0)
return 1
elseif (a == 1)
return 1
else
return fibo(a - 1) + fibo(a - 2)
}
echo fibo(7)create table foo (
id integer not null,
name varchar(64),
primary key(id)
)
insert into foo (id, name) values (4, 'hooooooa'); - a SQL query can use any variables
n = 3
a = select name from foo where id < $n
foreach(a as key: value) {
echo "row: " + key + " name: " + value.name
} - XML and SQL can be mixed together
<html>
<body>
<ol>
{
resultset = select * from foo where name = 'bar'
foreach(resultset as value)
{
echo <li>$(value.name)</li>
}
}
</ol>
</body>
</html> persons = [
{
"name": "Smith",
"age": 20,
"color": "blue"
},
{
"name": "Wesson",
"age": 17,
"color": "red"
}
]
foreach(persons as person) {
echo "Name:" + person.name
echo "Color:" + person.color
} - native URI (here http) and XQuery
result = document(http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=en&q=Java)
titles = for node in result//entry/title
return node
<news>
{
foreach(titles as title) {
title.name = "description"
echo title
}
}
</news> - it also quacks like a duck
ducks = []
add(ducks, "quack") // non empty string
add(ducks, []) // empty array
foreach(ducks as duck) {
echo isEmpty(duck)
}
// prints false
// prints true More samples ... The main grammar is available here and the SQL DSL is available here. What's missing ? - contributors
- embedded syntax for Path/URI and XQuery
- an eclipse/netbeans plugin
- ports of all useful PHP functions
