In plain words

PHP-Parser is a tool that analyzes PHP code and breaks it down into its component parts, enabling programmatic inspection and manipulation of PHP source code. It is designed for developers who need to work with PHP code at a structural level, such as those building static analysis tools, code generators, or refactoring utilities. The parser is itself written in PHP, making it directly usable within PHP applications and projects.

    Hi! I put together a Rust compiler written in PHP. It takes Rust source code and outputs x86-64 Linux binaries directly. No LLVM, no assembler, no linker. It has a working ownership checker, borrow checker, type checker, structs, functions, control flow, and mutable references. The test suite has 80+ cases. The whole thing is around 2,500 lines of PHP.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
