Why do you quote selectively? The next part is: "along with their interest in implementing PHP using invokedynamic on the JVM".

Also, JVM Language Summit, not Java Language Summit. (OP got it wrong too.) More on http://wiki.jvmlangsummit.com/Main_Page

I quoted selectively because the author gave no source for "their interest in implementing PHP".

None. No links. No names. No quotes. No press releases. No blogs. No email archive. Nothing. Not a skerrick. Not a sausage. Not a sniff.

Most likely this was a hallway conversation at JVM Language Summit (which it seems that OP attended). I don't see any particular reason to doubt his claim.

I do, because he seems to have a bee in his bonnet about the evils of interpreters.

I'm also a bit wary of leaping from one-guy-musing-in-a-hallway to FACEBOOK PORTING PHP TO JAVA.
