Thinkstock PeachPie, a project to support the PHP language natively on the .NET runtime, is now available in a 1.0.0 release, with a slew of features—including IDE support—aimed at getting developers on board. Originally announced in 2016, PeachPie is intended to be not only a runtime for PHP on .NET, but a full development platform. It allows a legacy PHP codebase to be migrated incrementally, with two-way interaction between the PHP and .NET worlds. Many, but not all, PHP extensions are supported through PeachPie. [ The PeachPie 1.0 release contains support for the commonly used 7.4 version of PHP, integration with IDEs, user-friendly error messages, and a number of other features intended to help developers adopt it. An online version of the compiler lets you try out compiling PHP code to C#, Visual Basic, or the .NET IL to get an idea of what the generated code is like. Compiling to WebAssembly is also supported.
