The tool that can improve 80% of the internet

Prague, Oct. 3, 2018 - After more than two years of work, PeachPie, the technology that converts ​ PHP code to .NET is finally ready for wide-scale usage. PHP powers over 80% of the internet, including some of the world's biggets sites, such as , Wikipedia, WordPress or Yahoo.

The hugely popular PHP language has seen a late revival in the last couple of years, with some extensive achitectural improvements. However, despite its widespread usage, it continues to have performance, security and stability problems, which often deters large companies, government institutions or banks from using the language for mission-critical systems.

These days, however, might be over. PeachPie, one of the first non- projects to be inducted into the .NET Foundation, might help bridge the gap between two seemingly distant technologies. Unlike PHP, .NET is robust, enterprise-grade, high performant and secure. Since PeachPie converts PHP to .NET, over three quarters of the internet could all the sudden experience a significant performance and security boost.

The company behind the technology, Prague-based iolevel, has recently revealed a first flagship product running on top of the otherwise free and open-source softare: WordPress running on .NET. With this product, iolevel hopes to attack the well over 60% market share WordPress has in the content management ecosystem. The product, labeled WPdotNET, promises enormous performance boosts, increased security and stability and much improved maintanability, while offering all the benefits of the hugely popular WordPress platform.
