Phalanger (was: PHP.NET)

Dilihat dari overview serta features, I think this is a good stuff. PHP programmers can easily port their code to .NET. Selain itu, ternyata kemampuannya cukup signifikan jika dibandingkan dengan PHP di atas IIS atau Apache. This is, of course, mainly because of the pre-compiled code. IMO, they should do benchmark with other language on top of .NET, not on top of other platform. Konfigurasi tersebut akan menampilkan kemampuan compiler IL dari Phalanger. Tetapi karena targetnya untuk menunjukkan perbaikan yang signifikan dari PHP, maka tes-tes yang dilakukan cukup relevan.
Their another strong point is the integration with Visual Studio .NET 2003.
On a note, this is actually what I've been looking for three years ago. Writing Windows application with PHP (PHP-GTK does not do the job).
On another note, I will publish two articles, "Creating Socket Server" and "What the H*** are Delegates?" in short time.
On another another note, did you know that DLL-Hell has been solved since Windows 2000? Ada sebuah trik yang dinamakan Private DLLs. Just copy DLLs you need to a new directory named: \NamaExe.exe.local\. More details.
