Hello, This is not an issue but a suggestion to make. Can someone port this compiler to the PHP language? PHP language still remains the most widely used in web servers. I would appreciate this very much. Best regards.

No. The compiler is written in TypeScript.

sandersn commented 8 years ago

You might be able to use the V8js extension to run the compiler.

PedroUrday commented 8 years ago

ok! thank you sandersn. Another question. If i wish, can i make a compiler, on my own, written in PHP? Does the licence allow this?

mhegazy commented 8 years ago

The language and the tools are all open source. you can find the language spec at: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/blob/master/doc/spec.md
