 follow it!

It compiles to a binary, but it also compiles "just in time" and allows you to execute code right inline with other code (without needing to compile a binary first).

There was some [discussion on here](https://www.reddit.com/r/php/comments/azrrs6), with a link to the repo for the compiler. It's a proof of concept that compiles to a binary.

What does this do exactly? Does it compile php code to an executable or some sort of binary for faster web pages?

Also can it compile any php code or is it limited to certain functions?

Would be nice to have an introduction or something.
