Sorry if this is a silly and/or stupid question but... Will there ever be, or would it even be possible to have a PHP.NET? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
you could develop php on windows to use windows functions, and ultimately call on .NET objects. I believe apache now allows php to call on native windows calls/functions and .NET functions/classes/objects, provided you have the right settings turned on.
as for .NET adapting php syntax, i think some people are trying to do this, aside from the existing attempts.
