[3385.06 --> 3390.90] before we start uh closing off the show well i did want to ask about jack but i'm not sure if we
[3390.90 --> 3394.58] have time to even you might have to have him back just for a whole entire show maybe you can
[3395.14 --> 3400.74] maybe do a quick overview and we'll have you back to talk about jack all right um jack is a fun
[3400.74 --> 3407.62] project my goal there is to make a language that's easy to learn yet powerful it's basically a mix of
[3407.62 --> 3413.62] javascript and lua and i'm really excited to actually use it someday i haven't had time for it yet
[3415.30 --> 3418.90] so is it backburnered because of t edit at this point it's way backburnered it's i've
[3418.90 --> 3426.42] been working on it since before coffee script wow that's a long time yeah uh and then you also
[3426.42 --> 3434.10] mentioned john which is a i guess a sub brother subsister so i guess right subset subset yeah it's a
[3434.74 --> 3443.22] it's jack object notation okay so john is to jack as json is to javascript so in t edit all the config
[3443.22 --> 3448.74] files and that one file that opens up with the instructions those are all basically john format
[3449.46 --> 3454.34] so it's it's just a subset of jack that's the data format and it's a strict superset of json so you
[3454.34 --> 3458.66] could write json and that would work but the quotes are optional the commas at the end are optional you
[3458.66 --> 3463.86] can have comments in line it's a it's a little more flexible than json you decided against jill on that
[3463.86 --> 3473.54] one huh yeah didn't fit the acronym yeah we can yeah that's that's neat though so i i guess uh yeah for
[3473.54 --> 3478.42] one i mean i just uh i'm not even kid when i said i almost fell over with uh watching your videos like
[3478.42 --> 3483.38] wow this is insane what you're doing and you're definitely leading the charge in that that's that's
[3483.38 --> 3489.62] for sure so um i one way we close the show off is we have a couple questions i don't think we had
[3489.62 --> 3493.22] these questions whenever you first came on the show back when you're talking about lua i think in the
[3493.22 --> 3498.82] early 20s of the change log um but one one question we ask and you may have already asked
[3498.82 --> 3504.18] or answered this during the call but to be blatantly clear what does it call to arms for your projects
[3504.18 --> 3508.74] you know js get i think that's pretty much complete but um obviously you're probably still accepting
[3508.74 --> 3515.46] code uh to that but how how can how can the general public listening to this either step up and help you
[3515.46 --> 3521.46] code wise issues wise how can the community step up and help you so it's it's to the point where other
[3521.46 --> 3527.86] people can code without getting in the way i have a lot of issues what what i really need is starting
[3527.86 --> 3533.70] in july if your company is interested in using this you can hire me to integrate it and i promise that
[3533.70 --> 3541.70] almost every company with that involves data or dev tools can use this in some way so if you can get
[3541.70 --> 3546.58] your company to hire me to help integrate this to add the features you want i want it to kind of work
[3546.58 --> 3551.54] like the code mirror or lua jet projects where they have corporate sponsors who add features
[3552.66 --> 3553.86] and then everyone can use the code
[3556.34 --> 3561.70] and and the what's the best way to get in touch with you you got creationx.com is your home page
[3561.70 --> 3565.62] we'll have that in the show notes is that is there a contact button on there or how what's the best way
[3565.62 --> 3572.02] to reach out to you i hope there's a contact button i don't know i mean my my email is probably
[3572.02 --> 3579.38] the best my email is public on my github it's tim at creationx.com gotcha you yeah that works and uh
[3579.94 --> 3585.22] i guess the next question which is is usually a fun question so i mean it doesn't have i'm considering
[3585.22 --> 3590.74] your background i'm assuming you'll be talking about uh programming to some degree but what would
[3590.74 --> 3603.38] you be doing if you weren't doing what you're doing good question if i wasn't doing the js get
[3603.38 --> 3608.90] to edit stuff yeah this mission we're talking about on this show like if you weren't trying to put all
[3608.90 --> 3613.38] your passion all of your effort and all of your time into that either through your own free time or
[3613.38 --> 3619.86] supported time you know if you weren't doing that what would you be doing i would probably be
[3620.74 --> 3626.82] oh i don't know if i wasn't programming i'd be making things that's for sure i i make things
[3626.82 --> 3632.66] with paper with wood with whatever if it was computer related i'd probably be writing libraries
[3632.66 --> 3639.62] template engines compilers that's that's still pretty much related to this i i'd be making something
[3639.62 --> 3646.58] for sure i am always making things i'm always creating that's why my my handle the creationix is
[3646.58 --> 3652.74] the word creation and then ix from linux from unix i create open things that's what i do i was
[3652.74 --> 3659.78] thinking that uh the x part kind of gave it away but i was i wasn't sure for sure yep i i create things
[3659.78 --> 3667.22] and then i open them up that's what i do and i guess uh our last question we ask is uh i don't know if you
[3667.22 --> 3672.50] answered this your first time around but uh who's your programming hero like who's inspired you who's
[3672.50 --> 3677.46] help lead you who's encouraged you anybody it can be one person could be a couple people
[3677.46 --> 3683.94] whomever oh i got i got lots of heroes um name them all that's fine all right there's a couple language
[3683.94 --> 3689.22] designers i like i like matt's from ruby he's a really cool guy i've met him in person i like brendan
[3689.22 --> 3696.50] ike from javascript they're they're very different people but i like them both um i'm i'm impressed with
[3696.50 --> 3702.66] mike paul for the way he gets paid to work on luiget even though i know very little about his
[3702.66 --> 3709.46] actual person he's quite cryptic oh i'm gonna butcher his name but um the code mirror guy is it
[3709.46 --> 3716.42] marine how do you say his name i don't know what look it up the the author of code mirror
[3717.30 --> 3722.26] and turn js and the eloquent javascript book he he is amazing i love what he's done
[3722.26 --> 3726.82] let me look behind me i have it on my shelf yeah the big yellow book that book is great
[3727.30 --> 3733.06] let's see i'll try and he's good he's i've been meaning to reach out to him too i'm gonna say
[3733.06 --> 3737.86] marriage and have her back have her back yeah i'm sure i butchered the name i probably did too
[3737.86 --> 3744.50] sorry about that i think he's awesome so yeah i i like those people i think they're cool awesome
[3744.50 --> 3747.62] we'll do our best to to do some digging too and make sure we get some links in the show notes so if
[3747.62 --> 3752.34] you're i know one reason i like asking that question on the show is just it kind of gives
[3752.34 --> 3757.62] some insight to who inspires you and they're not always um people that are very public like you'd
[3757.62 --> 3763.38] mentioned you don't know so much about um one particular person just because they're sort of
[3763.38 --> 3768.74] just not very public about what they do so but their work is and that's what inspires you
[3770.34 --> 3776.66] uh yeah i think that's that's this has been a fun show man i know that uh t edit i again i'm glad
[3776.66 --> 3782.50] you said t edit because i was going to call it ted it um just based on the the the phonetic
[3782.50 --> 3788.34] sounding of it i suppose i was going to sound it out versus thinking just t edit but uh tim thanks

• Discussion of the PHP spec and its importance for the PHP community
• Explanation of the PHP language's organic growth and its current state as a "fractal of bad design"
• Introduction of the PHP spec as a way to formalize the language and provide clear documentation
• Explanation of the need for a clear definition of proper PHP and its syntax
• Discussion of Facebook's HHVM technology and its relation to the PHP spec
• Announcement of the PHP spec's release and its implications for the PHP community
• The speaker mentions a project to improve the PHP language and make it more efficient
• HHVM (Hip-Hop Virtual Machine) is mentioned as a compiler that Facebook is working on to run PHP code
• The PHP code base is massive (10^7 lines of code) and changing to another language is not feasible
• Facebook chose Mercurial over Git for version control due to speed and developer efficiency concerns
• HHVM is a crucial project for Facebook to improve PHP performance and efficiency
• The project was a long-term effort (5 years) to implement a just-in-time virtual machine to run PHP code
• The speaker describes the project as a "crunch time" situation where they had to find a solution to run the site at high speeds.
• The process of transpiling PHP to C++ code led to a significant performance win
• The transpiler had problems, including long compile times and inconsistencies between dev and production environments
• The team switched to a virtual machine (VM) project to address these issues
• The VM project involved a team from Microsoft who worked on the CLR and had experience with just-in-time compilers
• The team chose to write the PHP specification in Markdown due to its native support on GitHub and ease of use
• The original specification was written in MS Word, but the team decided to stick with it until a new format could be implemented
