illegalstudio/elephc
A PHP-to-native compiler. Takes a subset of PHP - including eval() - and compiles it directly to native assembly, producing standalone binaries for macOS ARM64, Linux ARM64, and Linux x86_64. No VM, no external runtime, no dependencies: dynamic eval falls back to an optional statically linked interpreter.
