It seems we're not. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as a developer concerned PiHiPi+neko is just another php (official php parser+zend engine).

I see it as being like Blackdown vs Sun (wait, no that's too close; GCJ vs Sun SDK), but then I'd be joining the "another php" group.

Actually, there are several php forks already out there: phc, roadsend, phalanger, quercus etc. It wasn't my goal to create yet another one, I'd rather experiment with syntax and language design. A small, concise, simple scripting language with php-alike syntax and clean standart library - wouldn't it be nice?
