Roslyn VS PeachPie

.NET is a little smarter about switch code generation these days: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/pull/66081

Recently, while creating some experimental C# source code generators (xafero/csharp-generators), I was just concatenating strings together. Like you do, you know, if things have to go very quickly. If you have a simple use case, use a formatted multi-line string or some template library like scriban. But I searched for a way to generate more and more complicated logic easily - like for example, adding raw SQL handler methods to my pre-generated DBSet-like classes for my ADO.NET experiment. You could now say: Use Roslyn and that's really fine if you look everything up in a website like SharpLab, which shows immediately the syntax tree of our C# code.

At runtime, the Case C# expressions are embedded into a function and dynamically compiled into an assembly using the Roslyn C# compiler. Then the function that contains the expression is called (e.g. CaseAvailableFunction.Availablle()). At runtime, the function provides various methods to access stored case values as well as the current input data.

PeachPie may be worth a look. It’s a php to .net compiler.

It’s one of the most popular languages that is used to web apps at enterprise scale. You want useful? https://www.peachpie.io

Honestly it sounds like you’re in for a rough time. But here’s a real answer: https://www.peachpie.io

If you're planning to move more than 1 project toward C#, look into PeachPie, depending on the complexity of the API your project should run out of the box with no issues. This should let you rewrite the hot paths in C# while leaving rest of the system written in PHP(while still running in the .NET eco system).

We had to format the code for this article. You can find this method by following the link.

For IronPython's case there are interested parties, but it's not as large so you don't hear much about them. Same goes for the more niche stuff like peachpie where it's pretty active (dev-wise) but there's not much talk about it as there isn't as much community interest on following the project.

It's been a while since we posted articles on the C# projects check using PVS-Studio... And we still have to make the 2021 Top list of bugs (by the way, 2020 Top 10 bugs, you can find here)! Well, we need to mend our ways. I am excited to show you a review of the PeachPie check results.
