kPHP doesn't support all of the PHP features - there is no OOP for example. They claim [0] though that kPHP is faster than its competitors. Unfortunately, it seems the documentation is currently available only in Russian.

> there is no OOP

So basically it doesn't support 95% of all PHP code written in the past decade?

It also looks as if they haven't updated the website for which this project was intended in the past decade either, it appears as if they stole the design (badly) ten years ago and haven't updated it since. Apparently they have 100M users.

Edit: 100M active users, 230M users.

That is a bold claim.

It's not really PHP then - it's a language with PHP-like syntax. Still, it is interesting to see people experimenting with the platform and syntax and capabilities and trying to take it to different directions.

It's a pain in the ass to write in English and Russian - Punto Switcher or Keyboard Ninja are very useful for that (they automatically switch between En/Ru). Just a quick FYI if anyone needs it :-)
