Kira is a programming language that compiles to PHP. PHP is the best platform for web applications, but the language operating the platform is out-dated for a modern world. In fact, the PHP language sucks. Kira is designed to bring a good language and modern techniques into play whilst taking advantage of all existing PHP and a massive army of PHP developers. See the new mission/faq page!
Kira will have a public release in the future. See the new mission/faq page!

Kira is a technology that would allow the LAMP stack to compete head-to-head at the enterprise level against commercial platforms (like .NET). As of now, Kira is designed primarily for command, offline, distributed, and business processing. In the future, a special template engine is going to be built into the language to provide staticly typed and well-formed XHTML templates. With a built-in session controller, applications can be designed from the ground-up within Kira.
