Ruby on Rails vs PHP

Posted February 24th, 2009 by Juozas

For me it doesn’t mater witch language (or framework) you choose – it’s fine as longs as it gets work done. Really, don’t get insulted by this – I think both technologies are fine. But I like reading articles all other the web and I think this video summarizes a lot of discussions. For more ads visit this link.

    I abandoned PHP a long time ago in favour of Rails. The Ruby philosophy in general is so awesome, and the people that embrace this philosophy within the Ruby/Rails community make it such a great place to work within.

    Yes, Ruby on Rails community seems to be very good, but currently my work possition requires PHP :)

    Take a look at the Andromeda Database “Framework” its developed in PHP.

    Andromeda take a totally different approach than any other framework on the market right now. It put the business logic into the database itself.

    We’re probably within weeks of our RC1 release, but over all the framework is stable.

    Take a look all feedback is appreciated.

    Oh I see, an ad that copies an Apple ad, about a framework that copies another framework…

    We’re left with nothing but pat the authors on the back and hope RoR gets back some of its luster it lost during the last 1-2 years.

    I love all open source stuff. Currently I work as a PHP developer. I have absolutely nothing against Ruby.

    I do have a small digression on title “Ruby on Rails vs PHP”. RoR is a framework, PHP is a language. There is NO WAY these two can be compared.

    Something like “Ruby on Rails vs Zend Framework” or “Ruby on Rails vs CodeIgniter Framework” would be more appropriate.

    Branko, my position is the same as yours.

    Title… It’s title of video :) And video is also about this mis-comparison, so I think title is fine.

    Cheers…

    Well, I know both PHP and Ruby. PHP is a good tool. Tt does have drawbacks, but on the other hand, when talking about ruby… Its nothing more than a crazy religion for no good reason.
