Re: HipHop for PHP

I found what I had read.  There's a tool called HPHPi that's essentially a JIT version of HipHop for development use -- so that the developer workflow isn't changed.

Actually, the question of JIT compilation came up in the conference, and the HipHop team leader made it clear that HipHop was NOT a JIT technology.  He indicated that static compiling had some advantages.  He also said it took 6 months to deploy the binary across their servers - tens of thousands.

Now I'm going to have to go and read the article again.  The understanding I got was that HipHop was a JIT technology, where the PHP would be the deployed object and it would be translated/compiled when first hit.
