Overview

Elephc takes a subset of PHP, including eval(), and compiles it directly to native assembly for macOS ARM64, Linux ARM64 and Linux x86_64. Dynamic eval falls back to an optional statically linked interpreter.

Companion projects compile Laravel and Tempest, and elvm pins a compiler version per project.

What it does

  • Single static binary output
  • Targets macOS ARM64, Linux ARM64, Linux x86_64
  • Optional embedded interpreter for eval()
  • elvm version manager with .elephc-version
