Drupal can be compiled down to CIL (Common Interface Language) using Phalanger. Phalanger is an opensource project and has been around for a few years. Developers use Phalanger to turn Drupal into an ASP.NET application just like Quercus turns Drupal into a Java application. Many opensource PHP applications have been compiled with Phalanger and run on public websites.

Yes, thats right. Use Coldfusion to run Drupal. Sean Corfield, has created a custom tag for Coldfusion 8 (in beta) which will allow you to execute PHP code using Quercus. Quercus is a PHP 5 interpreter for Java, which means it compiles PHP to Java classes. There are many benefits for using a Java/PHP interpreter which are listed on the Quercus homepage.
