For *this* group there's little sense in migrating away - barely anybody here is used to writing C# code and even less knowledge bout CLR internals. We're quite used to C, though. Therefore another group has to do such an implementation (and obviously does) and then users may decide. So in the end you have to ask users why they won't migrate. Some reasons I can see are - PHP in it's current implementation is ubiquitous - It is proven - There are people who can administer it - It is known to be able to scale quite a lot - It can easily be extended with C to get machine performance where that matters or to connect to C/C++ libraries - Tons of existing applications are known to work on that platform - ... btw. there's not only Phalanger but also Quercus or HiHop, and some others none of those sees to really attract masses of users. johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
