Thoughts on PHP... .Net

[tg]

I was doing a little bit of research for work about .net and I happened
accross some interesting mashups, including IronPython and Phalanger.

I was wondering if anyone here had any thoughts or experience working
with Phalanger or some other "php.net" implementation.

What was your overall impression?
Did you try getting it to work with pear?
What other .net technologies did you integrate with?
Were you ultimately successful in developing your application?
Do you hate .net with such a passion that you will filter all further
posts by me?

Thanks,

I don't hate .NET. But I user php for cross platform development. And
..net is not cross-platform.

When I need a Windows-only solution, I do consider .NET. But only then.

Buzzwords are grand

i have done alot of research along these lines and the only framework i
have found to be of any note is qcodo. being put into the situation of
only writing code on a windows server exclusively is enough to ruin
anyones day. there may be modules on pear that are unix/linux only so
they wont all work, however most do. You should look into the xampp
stuff and look through their pear install so you can see where your
limitations in that regard.

Have a look at eXtc Web Developer (www.mgateway.com) which will
cross-generate PHP or VB.Net amongst others

Same idea but I drop the .Net and use Java

No. But my former job was as an ASP.NET programmer. Initially, I did not
think it did make any difference, but now I am glad to be back to PHP.
In PHP, you have to do a lot yourself, but you can make it good. In
..NET, a lot is done for you, you can't change it, and it is far too
complex and difficult to work with.

I hate PEAR. PEAR is just a trashpile of comments that do not compile
and make the code totally unreadable. PEAR is the reason I wrote a
docblock-remover for my editor.

Nope. Looking at other programming languages and environments is not bad
at all. You can learn a lot from, for instance, LISP, Haskell, Eiffel,
Forth, etc.

Ah, and Forth is especially easy to customize! I used to love working
with it.
