>How is PHP/Laravel better? I'm of the opinion it loses hard in every aspect. Performance. Ruby (with the official implementation) is brutally slow compared to PHP on Zend Engine [0], which is probably only behind the JVM in terms of VM performance and optimization for any language. PHP, if done properly, is a really great choice nowadays for a scripting language that can approximate C++/C#/Java levels of performance.
