DMDScript is not free plus it is hell to extend. I found miniD but it was painfully slow. So I decided to write a new scripting engine. Now it is more ready than to not, so I want to check if there is more people interested besides me. If so we could turn this into a community project or something like that. To be more specific I've almost finished the engine itself, but it lacks stdlib. And to be a real PHP replacement it needs very good stdlib (luckily Tango got most of what we need <g>). So please tell me if there is someone interested in helping to design/implement stdlib and maybe optimize the engine even further. Here is a little benchmark I did and some more info about the engine.

I'd rather dig into MiniD and help improve the performance than creating 
a new scripting engine. Code duplication for a language that has PHP's 
limitations just isn't worth anything, IMHO. *shrug*
