Why can't we get bytecode from php?

Question

PHP

Good afternoon. This question torments me
. We have all sorts of PHP accelerators that store byte code. So why won't language developers let us compile php into byte code?

Answer 1

So that's what accelerators do.
pecl.php.net/package/APC
sourceforge.net/projects/eaccelerator
xcache.lighttpd.net

Answer 2

So there are those who do not interpret every time, but already store the byte code and execute it every time.
