PHP is about to face Embrace, extend and extinguish?
Shared Apache+mod_php+MySQL hosting turns out to be impossible to extinguish…
This is a great way for Microsoft to show the potential of and build awareness for .NET core, I hope they are helping these guys. The nuget thing is inefficient, MS should plot a path to make npm a first class citizen in all ms tools.

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.
It might be a personal thing, but if I had to choose between working for a customer A with SharePoint and customer B with WP, I wouldn't hesitate to choose customer A, even with SharePoint 2007.

I would look at sitecore. It's still .net, but it is closer to wordpress in that you wouldn't necessarily build a sharepoint in it, but you can build pretty much anything else in it. Disclaimer, I work on the UX/UI side of a company that focuses solely on sitecore.

I laughed at that. As much as I still shun MS platforms, I have never heard anything good about PHP as a language other than "it worked and was available at the time". Why someone would migrate in this direction is beyond me ;-) but that's just my opinion of course.
Critical mass, availability of developers, good documentation, free. There are many reasons why people pick one technology over another.
And .NET is as free as php?

May I ask why?

Since you need to support versions of PHP that don't support the extensions that have parameterized queries.
Except… you don't? > WordPress also works with PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions have reached official End Of Life and as such may expose your site to security vulnerabilities > PDO ships with PHP 5.1, and is available as a PECL extension for PHP 5.0 Unless you mean "hosts that disabled PDO"… I think they can safely be ignored.

The benchmarks http://www.peachpie.io/benchmarks show peachpie outperforming PHP7 easily by 100x.
On Azure, without Opcache enabled. That's not a very good comparison.
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.
Running PHP and indeed WordPress on the .NET CLR seems like a great way to eliminate a whole tranche of bugs/vulnerabilities in one swoop. Respect.
Otherwise the .NET version only remedies vulnerabilities in php and not those in WordPress or its plugins.
