I work at a large company and we are starting to branch out into other languages. the problem is most of our infrastructure in .NET. Something like this would be really cool as it would allow us to utilize PHP while not asking too much of infrastructure team. I might put in an OSS approval request for this.

I think you might be the first case I've heard of of someone wanting to go from .NET to PHP.

Agreed. It's usually the opposite, especially in enterprise. People on HN get in their bubbles and forget that most large businesses use Windows.

We literally spend millions on licensing Share Point to do what WordPress can do much better and easier. I'm not saying we're going to start writing everything in PHP, but being able to experiment with WP could affect the bottom line in a big way.

This is amazing and from the comments I've heard that Microsoft is around supporting the development of this? Is there any MS material mentioning this effort? I'm really impressed by your work

We made two appearances on the Channel 9 show "On .NET" and one on DotNet Rocks. They also mentioned it a few times on some blogs.

Cool idea. How is the performance vs PHP?

We haven't benchmarked WordPress yet, as we haven't even started doing any optimization work. It's faster than expected though, but we'll produce a proper benchmark soon.

This seems to be built on an open-souce PHP->CLR compiler called Peachpie[1]. Interesting project. I don't have any PHP codebase that I still maintain but looking forward to trying it with some scripts I've written back in the days. I wonder if it would be faster than PHP 7 - which is already very fast (ok, just found these: http://www.peachpie.io/benchmarks ). [1]: http://www.peachpie.io/ [edit] If the author is loo…

Thanks for this, will fix asap.

That makes it sound like 'people on HN' are trapped in some sort of enterprise-proof foam. Which is unlikely.

This is on .NET Core, so you can actually run this anywhere! I do a lot of Core development on a Mac, but it runs well on AWS/Linux/my toaster.

Weird times, huh?
