He's quoting Jurassic Park.

I don't care what he's quoting and to see this as 'light-hearted' (without any further elaboration on the part of the OP) is extrapolation.

It can be negative and still light-hearted. The phrase itself has become a meme, usually applied to stuff like KFC's Double Down.

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.

How is nuget less efficient than npm?

Why on earth would MS want npm to replace what is one of the better parts of the .Net world?

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…

>I also admire the platform but most secure? Comes off a bit too strong. There aren't a lot of .NET exploits for a variety of reasons. Its pretty much the Java of the MS world so a lot of issues more liberal languages have, it doesn't, especially in regards to buffer overflows. Its attack surface is also pretty low as it only really inter-operates, by default, with a limited number of MS applications and is frequentl…

> I also worry that the closed nature of the platform

.Net Core is 100% open source.

One could argue PHP had its shot.

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.

While I do know that Azure is owned by Microsoft I'm not so sure on why it's such a valid argument.

In the end it's not like they're actively trying to ruin languages other than C# on their servers? Especially since that would ruin it for a lot of customers?

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.

Being able to use PHP for templating on .NET would be really nice. Webforms suck. Razor is okay, but the syntax isn't as easy for non-programmers to understand.
