Hey,
I can see why SPL might require extra work in HipHop to support. At the
same time I find it somewhat unfortunate this means one cannot use the
Standard PHP Library.
Yeah, but I think it's a workable issue. And the HH team seems very
amenable to feature requests (and patches!), so implementing parts of
the SPL are certainly possible over the long term.
As Tim points out, for ArrayObject and filter_var() it's non trivial to
implement (even Zend's implementation of the former is 2000+ LOC).
System and development software, such as OS, compilers, language libraries,
different kinds of VM's and so on are really huge and 2000+ lines of code
actually is a *little* amount.
It's not a framework or wiki. It's development software written in low-level
language.
Indeed, 2000 isn't really a lot, I was just trying to give an order of magnitude
so people wouldn't think it was like <50 LOC or something.
