Compiling and Running a PHP on .NET Core
summary
Claim: PHP compiles to .NET Core with the PeachPie compiler and runs inside ASP.NET Core/Kestrel, preserving debugging, PDB sequence points, NuGet packaging and profiler support. Implementation uses Roslyn to emit DLLs and PDBs, synthesizes globals, traits and anonymous classes, and optimizes virtual dispatch. A full WordPress site (WordPress powers ~35% of the web) compiles and serves on .NET Core, interoperates with C# libraries and tools, and runs successfully with measurable performance and diagnostics.
