Before the off-topic alarms go off: Quercus is quite mature.and has been demonstrated to run many major PHP packages out of the box. The Pear modules, which have native C components, might have spotty support (at a guess) but with the vast array of Java libraries readily available for everything under the sun (no pun intended), any shortfalls in Pear are easily compensated for. It does hint at a life for XSLT 2.0 and PHP. - michael dykman On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 10:36 PM, Terence Kearns <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Quercus looks promising.
