PHP Target #76

Closed marcospassos closed 3 years ago

Hi @sharwell!

Do you consider supporting other targets? Can you give an idea of how much effort is needed to add support for a new target?

sharwell commented 3 years ago

There are no plans to create additional targets. Each target is an overwhelming amount of porting effort, requiring expert-level knowledge of low-level behaviors (internal runtime data structures, static and dynamic compilation characteristics, GC behavior, etc.) of both Java and the new language.
