Programming language similar to PHP?
Hi guys,
I have a php script I use to simulate dice rolls. Really simple stuff, but I've found I need it when I'm not online, too. I've google searched, but honestly, nothing meets my needs so well as what I wrote (what a surprise?!).
What's my best option here? Is there a programming language similar to PHP that I can use to re-write the program as a standalone exe? I don't mind using this experience to learn another language, but I want to make the learning curve as shallow as possible.
I figure people here on this list have had a bit of experience in the matter. Any advice for a newbie?
Once upon a lifetime, I did some work in C, and in Haskell, but that was about it. I'm also going to be looking at creating a GUI for it, so if that's a consideration, there it is. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right.
