Read the full description
RHP supercharges PHP & Laravel-style apps with Rust speed, memory safety, and zero state-leaks. Traditional PHP boots framework code on every request; RHP keeps it permanently in memory via a parent process. It features synchronous execution, Dart-style concurrency (Future::run()), optimized Rust native collections (list, dict), and dual dev/prod modes ("rhp run dev" AST runner / "rhp run build" VM). Expressive syntax with zero compromise on speed.

No A persistent-process PHP runtime with memory-safe state isolation and concurrency requires deep knowledge of PHP internals, Rust FFI, and runtime design, which vibe coding can't reliably deliver.
What it would actually take: A real version means embedding or replacing the PHP execution engine, managing persistent worker processes, and isolating request state so nothing leaks between requests. It also requires a Rust-based async runtime and compatibility with Laravel's framework lifecycle. This is systems-level work for engineers with PHP engine and Rust expertise.
