Hi,

I'm also working on a project to shape the future API of php6, which can be found at gossi/oophp. Also part of this are objects for primitives.

Yesterday I published the project on php.internals and your project got mentioned and I'm asked about joining forces. I like your work and copied some of your methods to my php\lang\String class.

Would you also mind, checking out my project and how we could work on probably both projects?

Thanks

Hey.

I've had to put it on hold for a few weeks as I'm on a busy schedule at the
moment, but here's where I got to. Obviously the project mentioned had
quite a few contributions from people in an attempt to get the API correct.

The key to getting this moving forward is to get an RFC up for discussion
that gets agreement on an API in principle since this is likely to be a
very long process with lots of people's opinions. Once the API is agreed
then there's still a fair amount of work to get the functionality in core.

I made a start on implementing the functionality as a native extension
here: https://github.com/rossriley/scalar_objects/ this is primarily a
proof of concept but the good news is that it performs quite well. If you
look here:
https://github.com/rossriley/scalar_objects/blob/master/tests/benchmarks.php
you'll see that I got implemented one string method and one array method
and they are at least as quick if not quicker than the standard functions.

If you can get some of the internals people to agree to the syntax then
that would be a great move forward, and I'm happy to work together to keep
the projects synchronised in terms of API etc.

Let me know what you think.
