Golang Interpreter Written in PHP

In a similar spirit, I have started an experimental go to c++ compiler. But it's not in a usable state at the moment (no gc, imports management is not finished, some syntax are still not managed) and the code is probably quite bad as I'm not used to program in go. (The repo is here: https://github.com/Rokhan/gocpp if anyone interested).
I vaguely remember that the first version of the go compiler compiled into C.
I wonder how Go routines work in this?
They look to be supported:

The next project should be writing a Golang interpreter in JavaScript!
I vote for a JVM written in Perl.
We need Erlang's BEAM interpreter done up in AWK
Horrors beyond comprehension.
Haskell in binary code, but by toggling those switches on the front panel of the machine.
In what a cave of nerds am I in here?! :-D
I vote for Delphi interpreter in 286 assembly.
That's perhaps trivial. There's a Go to JS compiler, and the go compiler itself is written in go.
This is an amusing companion to the PHP interpreter written in go (by Mark Karpeles of MtGox infamy)

I wonder how keep you can stack them before things start to break down
This seems actually useful since it's really doing transpiling!
I made some progress on a similar transpiler some years ago https://git.ivysaur.me/code.ivysaur.me/php2go but never really finished. I still have the use case. Do you know if there's any production quality transpiler?
Today you would probably involve an LLM somehow, but it's hard to trust the result.

This is the kind of "why not" projects that one could use Copilot for!
Sorry, I'm heading to my workstation to ask Copilot to help me build a new JVM language using ancient Greek reserved words.

Perl has a latin interpreter → https://metacpan.org/dist/Lingua-Romana-Perligata/view/lib/L...
I've always wanted a Spanish DB query language. SQL is very boring. It needs some pizazz and somewhat more lyrical language than what we have.
Excel uses native language tokens everywhere.
SELECCIONA * DE CLIENTES CUANDO TELÉFONO SEA NULO
In the 70's there was a significant trend of translating programming languages to French - for example LSE, Pascal, Cobol, Algol... Didn't abide - we now take English for granted but reading code in my native is a strange sensation !
That's SQL with Spanish words. I think the parent meant something along the lines of: dame el nombre de cada cliente cuyo ciudad sea 'Granada' y que no tenga telefono. Anything more flowery will be hard to translate, though.
That's one way to get ready for Age of Mythology: Retold's release.

But there is frankenPHP [1] already. And it's not just an interpreter, it's a complete app server with Caddy web server underneath.

This is the opposite - Franken is PHP in Go. This one is Go in PHP.
But that doesn't even make any s... Oh, I misread the title then.
No worries, I got you :). Cheers and cya round
I thought "the right way" was to do everything in Rust :-)
The age of Rust is over. The time of “rewrite everything in php” has arrived.

My dream for Go, interpreted for fast reloads without compile for web development like e.g. PHP. Then compile for testing/unit testing/deployment.
Maybe not exactly what you meant...but you are not alone in your dream. Here's what i learned of: "Pushup - page-oriented web framework for Go" [https://pushup.adhoc.dev/]
You might have just described dart/flutter.
Is there anything technical preventing Go from being like this? Besides the fact that nobody has put in the hard work to make it happen?
Not a leading question, I’m curious if there are any technical complications with fast-reload Go.

I've no idea, I just know dart has a built in JIT and AOT complier, and hot reload is, for me, a killer feature.
I'm an old man and the simplicity of Go is for me.
If you think Go is simple, I don't think you've done much with the language
Perhaps, but after 40+ years of coding I have seen many more complicated languages. But I did love https://100go.co/
I should rephrase. Go is simple, but it cuts corners which can really over complicate simple things that other languages would handle more elegantly. Struct tags are a perfect example of missing language features that require a weird post-processing step to get dynamic typing working.
100go.co is a great website! I referred to it a lot when learning go and It's my go to (pun unintended) for anyone learning the language

My brain read the title as "PHP interpreter written in Go" - I assume because such a thing -wouldn't- be an abomination...
I have never simultaneously seen something both so amazing and so horrible :) No but really, this is impressive.

I mean, Go is now finally suitable for web development with hot code reload?
Some people just want to watch the world burn
I wonder if you can run this in FrankenPHP.

Can you compile frankenphp to run php?
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
This is awesome.

This is one of those “your scientists were preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think whether they should” type projects.
This is something you add to a project to obscure some sploit.

Ah, PHP! The grumpy old git of the programming languages (see also Jeremy Corbin and Bernie Sanders) /s

This is deeply cursed and I love it.
