Cython vs. IronPython vs. Ruby vs. Xdebug Comparison Chart

IronPython is an open-source implementation of the Python programming language which is tightly integrated with .NET. IronPython can use .NET and Python libraries, and other .NET languages can use Python code just as easily. Experience a more interactive .NET and Python development experience with Python Tools for Visual Studio. IronPython is an excellent addition to .NET, providing Python developers with the power of the .NET. Existing .NET developers can also use IronPython as a fast and expressive scripting language for embedding, testing, or writing a new application from scratch. The CLR is a great platform for creating programming languages, and the DLR makes it all the better for dynamic languages. Also, the .NET (base class library, presentation foundation, etc.) gives developers an amazing amount of functionality and power. IronPython uses Python syntax and standard libraries and so your Python code will need to be updated accordingly.

Xdebug is an extension for PHP, and provides a range of features to improve the PHP development experience. A way to step through your code in your IDE or editor while the script is executing. An improved var_dump() function, stack traces for notices, warnings, errors, and exceptions to highlight the code path to the error. Writes every function call, with arguments and invocation location to disk. Optionally also includes every variable assignment and return value for each function. Allows you, with the help of visualization tools, to analyze the performance of your PHP application and find bottlenecks. Shows which parts of your code base are executed when running unit tests with PHPUnit. Installing Xdebug with a package manager is often the fastest way. You can substitute the PHP version with the one that matches the PHP version that you are running. You can install Xdebug through PECL on Linux & macOS with Homebrew.
