README
Pharen is compiler project that compiles a Lisp-inspired language to PHP.
It is still under development, but small-scale use is definitely possible.
All documentation for Pharen is at http://scriptor.github.com/pharen.
Status
As of now Pharen covers most of what you could do with PHP. Tail recursion is transformed into reasonably efficient looping, OOP support allows for easily working with existing PHP libraries, and macros provide a ton more opportunities.
