Phoronix: PHP 7.0 RC1 Is Running Much Faster Than PHP5, But Still Not Beating HHVM

With PHP 7.0 RC1 having been released last week, I've spent a fair amount of time in the past few days trying out this first release candidate for the huge PHP 7 milestone...

So HHVM is faster but could possibly eat up all of your ram?

Hmm...

[Marc Driftmeyer]

I think PHP 7.0 is definitely not going to have me interested in HHVM.

PHP 7 is looking "good enough" for me at this point. Most of my pain points are external to PHP, HHVM's async functions might help for some tasks, but at the end of the day PHP is still single threaded procedural language.

PHP7 RC2 is literally 24 hours away: https://wiki.php.net/todo/php70#timetable

Also, in my tests PHP7 (php-fpm) is faster than HHVM for non-parallel loads.

But I compile PHP7 with o3 march native mtune native and use --enable-inline-optimization on configure

PHP 7 is a great improvement of PHP 5 but still it has no support for decorators and method overloading.

That way of overloading is nasty. Now that php supports type hints it should allow things like:

function mine(int $test)
function mine(string $test)

But for this some one would need to standup and write an rfc.

I'm curious (and maybe this will be in a forthcoming post) whether your testing has HHVM running in repo authoritative mode?

No. does the repo authoritative mode even work for HHVM CLI apps?
