it's time for more funsploration of php jit codegen
this time we are doing truly mad stuff: nested calls. this is our code:
function nest1() {
return rand();
}
function loop() {
$i = 1_000_000;
while ($i--) {
nest1();
}
}
loop();
tracing jit (the one used by default) produces following monstrous binary. you would expect slimmer and more streamlined code, but here we are. there's a reason for everything. the reason might not be good, be there's always one.

From PHP to Python is out 🎉
To celebrate, the course is 50% off for the next two weeks.
