Update: Facebook officially announced the project, titled HipHop, this morning and confirmed that it would be released as open source this evening. Facebook will be hosting a talk at 7:30 PST with PHP developers to get into the specifics. The talk will be streamed live on Ustream. Developers are encouraged to comment on RWW's open thread discussing the implications of the PHP runtime rewrite.
Richard Crowley, an engineer at OpenDNS who is familiar with the project, told us that David Recordon, an engineer at Facebook, invited him to come to Facebook's headquarters Tuesday morning but wouldn't give a reason. Crowley mused to us that it was likely his PHP skills and personal connections that got him through the doors and clued us in on what he thinks will be going on behind them.
