Decompile the resulting library and start refactoring and adding comments?

Why would you start with a decompiled binary when the source code is available?

Don't be like that.

https://www.peachpie.io/ - the live demo shows that it compiles to IL which yes, could be decompiled as a starting point of you wanted to extend it in C# (or VB.NET) instead of working in PHP.

Because then you don’t need to look at the source code
