I started implementing the PHP library as a C extension for the fun, and to see what could be achieved using the same algorithm. The results are looking good so far: https://github.com/jgmdev/lessram/tree/master/ext some work is needed to get this moving but the base should be in place and benchmarks are looking good!

10x you say?
Those are some pretty huge savings if true. 500mb down to 32mb for just double the execution time? Very nice.
Man!! You should be on the php-internals team with this great code! [completely serious!]
PHP would be full of stack overflows and other bugs because of me! Yay! Anyways, don't worry, I will stop posting non sense.
Can you also add Judy and Ds to the benchmark?
I added Ds\Vector and Ds\Map, but Judy hasn't been ported to PHP 7 so I discarded it, also the Judy C library is huge.
That's what PHP started as so you kind of just reinvented the wheel.
Can you elaborate more on that? What do you mean?
PHP was originally meant to just be a templating language for HTML with all the heavy lifting done by C extensions
You missed the context (which is ops fault) . "the php library" referred to this little gem: https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/cbae56/php_array_implementation_that_consumes_10x_less/
After being on twitter if I use this will I be a #10xengineer?
It seems we've come full circle.
