I just started working on a website that will help people understand what rappers are talking about. Users will see the lyrics to a rap song and they'll be able to click certain lyrics to see an explanation. Here's a screenshot (you can also check out the site itself here):

Following this rather comical interview with a Facebook "employee"...
Does anybody have any details on the Hyper PHP that those smart as balls Facebook guys have developed?
...
The news in the PHP world today is Facebook's HipHop, which:
HipHop for PHP isn't technically a compiler itself. Rather it is a source code transformer. HipHop programmatically transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then uses g++ to compile it. HipHop executes the source code in a semantically equivalent manner...
Yesterday Facebook launched HipHop, a sourcecode-converter from php to c++. The set of php functions and constructions is more limited that standard php.
Are the current popular php frameworks (ZF, CakePHP, symphony) compatible with HipHop? If not, which parts of this frameworks are not usable?
...
Where can you download the HipHop Code? I would really like to test it.
Interestingly enough if you go here:
http://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php/wikis
It must not exist or private because it redirects to github.com index.php page
So you can not even see the wiki or anything

Where can I download HipHop for PHP?
...
If I write a hello world app using a PHP web framework such as CodeIgniter and then I compile it and run it using HipHop. Will it run faster than if I write the same hello world app in django or rails?
...
HipHop compiles PHP in a C executable. What happens with PHP errors ?
Is that harder to debug ?
edit : I looked through the documentation but didn't find anything
...
Would it make sense to switch to HipHop instead of XCache?
Is HipHop ready for primetime or should we wait several months before implementing it?
Edit: we are interesting in testing the configuration on a server running vBulletin.
...
I was wondering if anyone here has used HipHop? If so what do you think about the technology? Is it real world? What problems have you run into? Should I compile my production application using HipHop?
...
I need to run HipHop PHP on a Windows based development environment. Im running Windows 7, I know the version located at facebook's repository is built for Linux, however I need to run it on Windows.
Some things to consider>
