HN discussionThey have benchmarks here: http://www.peachpie.io/benchmarks The last one is probably the most useful and impressive. As mentioned by sibling, not WP-specific, and benchmarks often lie, but better than nothing.

HN discussionThis 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 lo…

HN discussionDon't be like that. https://www.peachpie.io/ - the live demo shows that it compiles to IL which yes, could be decompiled as a starting point of you wanted to extend it in C# (or VB.NET) instead of working in PHP.

HN discussionFWIW [peachpie]( https://www.peachpie.io/2020/09/peachpie-1-0-preview1.html ) is a fairly complete PHP stack running on top of .NET core, leveraging the .NET runtime and jit. It can do things like host WordPress. It fares pretty well in [techempower]( https://www.peachpie.io/2018/06/performance-progress-report.... ).

HN discussionIt's always really cool to see alternate language implementations with new features or advantages !A similar project for PHP is Peachpie [0]. It runs PHP on the CLR and also claims rather massive performance improvements in some areas [1]. To my understanding it does support some more language features than this.
