I love Laravel.

Have a good day :)

Fuck laravel and fuck php harder

@mundo03 I could see why you'd hate php ... but not Laravel!

@sodj laravel is all right, sad you have to use php though.

@mundo03 better like php then nodejs async kind fuck shit promise everywhere

@jak645 true that

I don't get people hating in any programming language. Besides I don't see why php is so bad? And yes I like Laravel also.

I like PHP but not Laravel. Too much magic.

@w00000t what do you mean by magic?

@mundo03 PHP fucks back with love.

@ojrask RUBY is love!

@w00000t that's what I love <3

@w00000t Totally agree!

I have been working with PHP for over a decade and I really like, especially since PHP 7. But I don't like Laravel even a little bit.

@Hel8y What framework do you use?

@NarkoCat Mostly Zend Expressive nowadays, with other dependencies like Doctine2, Symfony Serializer, Zend Service Manager and some own packages for scheduling and executing background tasks. Basically, Zend Expressive allows us to create a setup with the dependencies we need, instead of those provided by a framework.

As for Laravel, I do understand why it is popular. It is easy to learn and it really has a lot resources available. I prefer dependency injection over the facade pattern (and Laravel abuses it very well). I've worked with the ActiveRecord pattern in CodeIgniter years ago, but I really prefer a DataMapper like Doctrine2 so that my domain remains clean. And in general I really hate all the static method calls.

But yeah, you can create simple applications with it really fast. But what happens when they release a new Laravel version every 2 years and the lifetime for your application is 10+ years? Good luck with maintenance!
