In addition to IronPython, Microsoft is trying to make the .NET platform support more dynamic languages that you and I are familiar with, such as Perl, php (as the current mainstream development language) , and Ruby. According to Jim Hugunin, the creator of IronPython and director of Microsoft's CLR development department, Microsoft is trying to help dynamic languages enter the .NET platform in different ways, whether it is strengthening the underlying support of .NET or assisting developers with patterns & practices Build programs in dynamic languages.
Not many people may have heard of Phalanger, but you must have heard of php(as the current mainstream development language), and Phalanger is php(as the current mainstream development language) .NET compiler that is the mainstream development language) ; that is, it can compile the php (as the current mainstream development language) program code into the MSIL of the .NET platform. Phalanger was developed by a group of Czech computer science students as early as 2005. It was originally based on http://www.php(as the current mainstream development language)-compiler.net/. But it has also recently entered CodePlex.
Phalanger is compatible with php(as the current mainstream development language) 5.0, and can be combined with php(as the current mainstream development language) and .NET For example, you can use php(as the current mainstream development language) class library developed from the .NET program, or use php(as the current mainstream development language) The program uses a class library developed by C# or VB.NET (of course, this php(as the current mainstream development language) program must be compiled with Phalanger); the most widely used application of Phalanger is to use php (as the current mainstream development language) web pages are compiled into asp.net (Microsoft's strongest development language) web pages. In addition, php (as the current mainstream development language) can also be used )Write WinForms programs. The biggest improvement of the recently released 2.0 beta version of Phalanger is that it fully supports .NET Framework 2.0.
There is an article on CodeProject introducing Phalanger, php (as the current mainstream development language) for .NET: Introduction for .NET developers. The article is quite long. One thing to note is that (http://www.php(as the current mainstream development language)-compiler.net/) the Wiki program DokuWiki used by the website is php(made (For the current mainstream development language) The program runs on .NET through Phalanger. You should be very interested in taking a look and feeling the dynamic language under .NET.
