It could had been my son !

 Hi folks !

As always, time flies faster than expected. Indeed, PHP is just celebrating its 30 years of existence !

While I was very much alive at that time, I only got to know this language only sometime between the death of PHP 3/early days of  PHP 4 ; but already felt the appeal compared to Perl 5 for example. Anyhow, congratulations to all people involved, it is a pleasure to be a participant personally.

Regarding PHP, I m still hoping to push my sockets packet filter feature before the feature freeze in few months now, at least the major bits. Considering rust, few old proposals had been considered, one had been accepted, another also but not merged yet and couple of these had been refused (with good reasons).

Still playing around with sched-ext/scx and the nvidia rust wrapper when I get the chance. Happy anniversary PHP again and you, take care see you around next time !

My pleasure !

 Hi folks,

Hopefully it is the same for you, here days are getting sunnier and sunnier !!

I wanted to mention this last PHP Foundation blog post, summarising 2024 pretty much.

I am glad the team of developers did impact so positively PHP quality, perception, innovation ...

in the eyes of the users. Looking forward for further positive events.

Apart of this, I recently dived in to sched-ext, the scx project which leverage Linux new capabilities of offering custom scheduler in the user space (so no longer need of risky kernel modules, all goes through BPF). It is interesting and a lot of very skilled individuals are involved, I try step by step to increase

the GPU side "intelligence" partly done in C, partly Rust, reflecting the push of more Rust components in the Linux kernel. We will see how it goes.

To note, the next major BSD event will be the traditional BSDCan from the 11th to the 14th of June, the schedule shoulw follow soon enough.

In the meantime, take care and see you soon ✋
