I agree with you, I'm not a good PHP developer. Before that bad experience, I was thinking that PHP was a kind of visual basic for the Web. Easy to write, fast to get something. I was wrong, that why I've called my language PHP.reboot because I think that PHP in 2010 should be rebooted to be secure by default.

Now, the main point of this toy language as you call it is to demonstrate that a dynamic language can be fast if you don't design it with an interpreter in mind. BTW, I really hope that this is what Dart is.
