I think that would make for a very fun research project, especially if a memory-safe language like Rust were used. In addition to your examples of Quercus and HHVM, someone is currently working on compiling PHP to .NET: http://www.peachpie.io http://www.peachpie.io I'm not aware of any security audits on any of these efforts.

Well darn. I was hoping someone had reviewed them. Good to see positive feedback on the concept, though. Btw, there's also Phalanger for .NET: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanger_%28compiler%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanger_%28compiler%29 Already runs WordPress, phpBB, etc. Anyone doing this sort of thing on .NET might consider starting with contributions to it. I'm trying to avoid CLR and JVM due to runtime complexity where possible. Aside from Rust, Go is another possible target for a simple runtime.
