Will $framework be the new $language? Fairly apple and pears comparison and somewhat pointless.

Fairly apple and pears comparison and somewhat pointless.
- slurgfest 14y agoPHP is somewhat unusual in the extent to which things normally reserved for frameworks are included in the language. For example, PHP comes with a template language. It isn't so unreasonable to compare these facilities to analogous ones provided by frameworks.
- trevelyan 14y agoPHP has a large number of frameworks that serve the same purpose as Rails. I'm fond of both Rails and CakePHP, and while there are differences between the two, talking about how "Ruby" avoids messy code by forcing MVC onto people but "PHP" doesn't is silly.
- slurgfest 14y agoThe existence of (say) CakePHP does not affect my point, which is that core PHP includes a lot of facilities that in other languages are part of a framework written by a third party, such as a template language.
