> ... replaced by better things. I thought we agreed that different solutions required different tools? It's 2012 and all of our new apps our driven by PHP+Symfony2 with AngularJS on top. This combination has been huge for us (my company, I mean). Maybe what should be answering is what "things" are better compared to PHP development with equal expertise. Like, what will RoR do for me that my existing setup won't? Why swap Symfony2 for ExpressJS and a multitude of NPM packages? I'm alays eager, like most of the HN community, to be sold on the next great thing that makes my life easier, code cleaner, and site faster. But aside from language design, I haven't seen any apples-to-apples comparisons on the applications of these "better things."
