A lot of the over engineering in Laravel comes from Symphony, which in turn inspires how Laravel is built. And with the Proxy pattern in use everywhere, it inspires high coupling in your code in a way that doesn't quite look like coupling but is nonetheless.
- tomcorrigan 12y agoI would argue that Symfony is well engineered, not over engineered. The fact that Laravel is already at version 5 demonstrates just how poorly engineered it was in the first place.
- than 12y agoIt is a well known fact that one can deduce the quality of a software product simply by the the number that comes after its name.
- bjacobel 12y agoThat's an odd argument. Is Rails poorly designed because it's had 4 versions, or Django because it's had 8? Seems much more to do with the pace of the development than the architectural quality, to me.
- mgkimsal 12y agoEDIT: It depends on what the versioning represents. I don't think there have been as many breaking changes in Rails vs Laravel, and Rails at v4 has been over ... 9-10 years? Laravel is < 6 years old, with, from what it seems to be, rather significant philosophical changes between major versions. Doesn't mean it's bad, but perhaps closer to using gentoo vs centos.

- spdustin 12y agoIs that supposed to be funny? Maybe he went all "autistic" too? Perhaps he types like a "Jerry's kid"? Grow up, and behave like an adult who actually takes care in choosing their words.
- Killswitch 12y ago> Full Retard, also known as Nigga, You Just Went Full Reatrd, is a catchphrase associated to Kirk Lazarus, a character from the 2008 film Tropic Thunder portrayed by Robert Downey, Jr. The expression is normally used as a reply to ilogical or stupid posts, in similar fashion to other phrases like Facepalm or What is this I don’t even Get the stick out of your ass.
