I prefer Rails solely because of Ruby. (And I'm more productive in it.) I'm not a huge fan of PHP, but I know that's probably because I started my career as a WP developer, so I still have that hatred looming in the back of my mind. Either way, Laravel also looks top notch and I periodically check out Laracasts to keep up to date on where it's going.
- bgdkbtv 10y agoDon't know if you're still developing for WP, but I hated it so much until I came acros roots.io. Their bedrock installation and sage theme are a breeze to work with. So much better than anything else I've tried.
- andrei_says_ 10y agoIs there anything that allows using templates with wp instead of the unbearable fragmented patchwork of functions and code? Something like twig maybe? I come from rails and trying to develop for Wordpress caused a lot of wtf and disgust.
- bgdkbtv 10y agoWP is terrible with its template inheritance, and Sage theme essentially solves that problem for you. You will need to write absolute minimum for your templates using standard PHP. Here is a link to their latest beta version which uses webpack and all the new goodies: https://github.com/roots/sage https://github.com/roots/sage However, if you're more comfortable with using Twig, there is a fork of Sage that uses Twig: https://github.com/studiorabota/sage-twig-theme https://github.com/studiorabota/sage-twig-theme (but it uses gulp and older tech).
