There is PHP parser written in PHP [0], a PHP VM implementation (running PHP code with PHP) [1] and a AOT compiler for PHP which is written in PHP, for a subset of the PHP language [2]. So yeah, it is already happening.

If for every PHP-bashing comment on HN, people would rather write one more line of open source code, the world would have been a better place.

  What would be the point of this? Any significant improvements would make it a different language.

    I can't agree. It's not fundamentally broken.
