  The HPL project is an open source project whose primary goal is to enable users to write, debug and maintain computer programs written in Hebrew using an execution engine and Hebrew IDE.
  
  The Hebrew programs will be translated to PHP scripts written in English and later executed by the PHP language engine.
  
  Users will be able to use an easy, user friendly, Hebrew API identical to PHP's English API- in order to write their programs. The output will also be parsed, and the user will receive an output matching the one he would have gotten had PHP supported Hebrew commands!
  
  PHP was chosen as a programming language, because it is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development. We felt it would be convenient to programming novices (as well as experienced programmers) to use this non strict language's API.
