RoR wont yield any benefit over a good PHP framework, and isn't a very good reason to switch. Good reasons to switch: - namespace implementation is bunk - fi

RoR wont yield any benefit over a good PHP framework, and isn't a very good reason to switch.
Good reasons to switch:
- namespace implementation is bunk
- first class functions are second class
- the stdlib
- the insistence of the PHP devs on doing things in an orthogonal fashion to what the community wants
- only to relent years later with a half-assed implementation of a feature that's standard in modern languages (like finally)
If you do have these problems, and you find a language that suits you, let me know. I've been struggling with the limitations of PHP for years, and I haven't found anything better. PHP's ubiquity means that there's almost certainly a library or extension out there for whatever you need.
- DigitalSea 14y agoI guess I wouldn't entirely switch from PHP to RoR, perhaps just adding Rails as an extra skill to my resume might do some good for me like someone else pointed out, more skills equals more opportunities. You're right about the ubiquity of PHP meaning someone else has written a library or script for doing almost anything I guess that's the plus of PHP being easy which in turn fuels a community.
