We were so busy wondering if we could do it we never stopped to ask if we should.
In all seriousness, this compiler looks incredibly well-made! It's quite an achievement to be able to successfully compile WordPress, so props for that. Are there any known limitations to e.g. plugins that can't be compiled? Are other frameworks like Laravel or Symphony able to be compiled to .NET?
What was the motivation behind the compiler? A legacy PHP app being moved to a .NET team?
There are plugins that can't be compiled yet, but otherwise no limitations, unless a plugin requires you to change the PHP source code while the site is live. This isn't allowed in wpdotnet due to security reasons.
Laravel is quite close to being run, Symfony should follow soon after. Mediawiki is already tested and runs.
