My thought exactly, but it's always nice to see people push the status quo on what an "acceptable" use of a language should be.

I've written small command line scripts in PHP before (without any helper libraries). Using PHP for such things is nice when interfacing with web services (JSON parsing, SimpleXML, etc).

Perhaps Peachpie, when it reaches production quality, will also help with that, as then calling .NET (and maybe, through that, WinRT) APIs from PHP code will be made easier.
