I've always wanted to do sort of the opposite... That is to say, I've always wanted to compile Scheme to PHP. I make the claim that PHP is the web's assembly language. Or, at least it's portable assembly language.
- jrockway 17y agoYeah, "apt-get install php" is much easier to type than "apt-get install sbcl perl ghc python ruby ..."... (The other langauges also all run faster, use less memory, and have more features.) (And no, you should not compile your app into your frontend webserver. Use FastCGI or a reverse proxy!)

- mahmud 17y agoJavascript is the web's assembly language. PHP is the web's BASIC, down to its distribution method. BASIC was typed down from magazines and tutorials, PHP is google, cut and pasted.
