You're assuming the target implementation is trivial, or even possible.


I know extensions are needed. Still I think PHP is powerful and often
(often != always) fast enough.


You're right for sure.  By and large, the argument of the extension vs. userland debate is far less technical and more social/cost-benfit driven than anything else.  PHP itself could change some very minor technical details in the engine (like enabling dl() for example), that would completely shift the way people build and manage projects (and their dependencies).
