I think this is a great and thought-provoking post.
The movement toward smaller, decoupled and interoperable libraries in the PHP community is in general a good thing.
But without a widely adopted PHP package-management system using many micro libraries becomes more complex to manage than a big all-in-one framework. We need something like NPM for PHP. Maybe PEAR 2 can get us there.
- mhitza 15y agoYou mean like composer http://packagist.org/ http://packagist.org/?
- deweller 15y agoYes - like this! Now all it needs is the widely adopted part...
- mhitza 15y agoThat's the part where everybody can contribute. Have an open source library you like, fork and add the composer part. Indeed it will not always be that easy, because the project has to be structured in a way that the autoloader could work with. Maybe even merely giving the heads up to library developers would be enough to get them to accept it; worth a shot, right?
