Ask HN: Best language for CRUD app?
What is your go to language for CRUD apps, and why?
I am looking for something will a really easy to use DSL or framework with a low learning curve.
- huydotnet 9y agoCakePHP (PHP) and Ruby on Rails (Ruby) both has very strong CRUD generator.
- tomcam 9y agoWeb2py by far. Nothing comes close.
- dmlittle 9y agoAs steven_braham pointed out, every language has a (almost) clear winner framework. I'd use the one in the language you're most comfortable and familiar with. For example, there's no reason to use RoR if you're already familiar with PHP. In that case, just use Larvel.
- wechatfan 9y agoRoR would be the easy one to get along with.
- steven_braham 9y agoProbably every major popular framework has good crud support. Most of these frameworks contain a orm that will the heavy lifting. I don't think anyone has a specific language or platform for crud. Most people pick the one they are most familiar with.
- superasn 9y agoI've heard Laravel is pretty good so going by that the best language would be PHP.
- nik736 9y agoYou notice that Laravel isn't in any way unique and basically is a Rails clone?
- superasn 9y agoSorry, I didn't know that since I have no experience with Ruby or RoR. Anyway since you have experience with both, are you sure it's just a 100% clone in PHP and doesn't bring anything unique?
- romanovcode 9y agoWhy should it? I don't get this "clone" issues. RoR was excellent idea, everyone copied it and now you can write MVC in language of your preference be it PHP or C#.
- RUG3Y 9y agoRails, Django, Laravel, etc etc
- quickthrower2 9y agoCRUD web or desktop app?
- tugberkk 9y agoPHP. If you don't want to use a framework, just use a WAMP/LAMP stack and you will be fine.
- romanovcode 9y agoChoose the most popular framework for the language you are comfortable with.
- saurabhdatta 9y agoPHP or Node, take your pick.
