bob1029 on PeachPie Compiler: Compile and run PHP on top of .NET runtime

C# has poor man's PHP baked in these days:

And, it's getting better over time:

This is essentially how I respond to web requests in my codebases right now:

  var table = $@"<table>
    <tr><th>Name</th></tr>
    {string.Join('\n', items.Select(i => $"<tr><td>{i.Name}</td></tr>"))}
  </table>";

The defining feature of PHP isn't really string templating, but its shared-nothing architecture.

I would consider poor man's PHP as something to reimplement that architecture, rather than any particular language feature.

Hi, my name is:

   <script>Alert("hi")</script>

I fail to see why anyone sane would use this way over Razor files.

I use it to avoid the gauntlet of AspNetCore dependencies and weird editor bs around cshtml files.

Kind of makes my point then.
