The worlds collide: jsphp and php.js

I guess we can consider the overlapping between PHP and JavaScript worlds complete.  Just within the last couple of days I separately and independently came across two different projects:

  • jsphp, which is a pseudo-implementation of the ECMA 262 standard (JavaScript 8.5.1) for PHP 5.3+
  • php.js, which is a resource that offers community-built JavaScript alternatives to PHP functions

So now you can use JavaScript-like stuff in PHP, and PHP-like stuff in JavaScript.  Boom!

After the upgrade to Fedora 22 last night, I was looking for a new desktop background image, to change the mood.  Surprisingly, one of the top search results pointed me to the Microsoft website, which has a selection of some really good background images.   Backyard bonfire works well for me.
