Looks interesting (especially like the @foreach syntax), but I don't see much advantage over PHP unless your deployment is limited to a Windows-only environment

Looks interesting (especially like the @foreach syntax), but I don't see much advantage over PHP unless your deployment is limited to a Windows-only environment. I forgot that the IIS Web.Config was so similar to Tomcat.
- barrydahlberg 16y agoYou get to use C# which really is rather a pleasant language and is a huge win over PHP. The Web.config has been shrunk a huge amount in recent versions of .Net as more sensible defaults for the new frameworks get built in.
- alnayyir 16y agoBut at that point, you could use Scala or Java if you want a nice static/strong language. Then you get access to nicer frameworks like Lift, Play, et al with the associated free and open source infrastructure.
- barrydahlberg 16y agoI haven't used Scala but I certainly rate C# over Java at this point in time.
- josephcooney 16y agoI don't get it? PHP runs on Windows....
- eagleal 16y agoIf you're stack on the Windows platform, it may be a true pain to build using other technologies. Major OSS tools can be more easily mantained on Unix-like systems (RoR, Python, even PHP it's a mess on Windows). I'm talking about production environments. I do myself use WinXP for development, because I'm forced by other tools I must use; but my current production env is Ubuntu.
