Which Framework? #11

Open designermonkey opened 11 years ago

designermonkey commented 11 years ago

The question has again arisen as to which framework we should use to build Next.

Most votes are with Laravel, some are with Symfony.

I love Laravel, but in the end I can learn and support any PHP framework that just "gets shit done."

I think @designermonkey meant Slim v3

michael-e commented 10 years ago

Ah! Thanks!

iwyg commented 10 years ago

Yes. Nonetheless it's true that there's already a s3 project going on.

michael-e commented 10 years ago

OK, got it, finally.

IbnSaeed commented 10 years ago

Let's just take the modules which we need from Laravel.

Does everyone agree on this?

Rant over.

You forgot the "bah, humbug!". ;)

I don't see any bickering here, just a lot of enthusiastic Symphony fans trying to make helpful suggestions. It's all with good intention and everyone has the same goal in mind so I see that as a positive. I think that everyone feels a similar frustration in the same way and everyone individually is equally powerless in a similar way. The crew are eager and willing but the captain is AWOL.

As a reminder to all of the original tasking, @allen set a direction over here. @rowan-lewis setup camp over here. I've just spoken to Rowan and he's trying to get a few things figured out himself first with some pretty radical notions in mind. :) From the IA perspective the list of requirements can still be made simultaneously. I've compiled my (deliberately non-specific) list here as just a starting point. Once we get to that point where both groups have completed their tasks then discussions can take place to start drilling out a plan. Rowan will be doing his superman thing (at -10°) in the meantime.

Also personally, I will never hand over any project of this magnitude to a single framework like Laravel. What if the entire direction goes somewhere we don't agree with morally or license wise? What if the project is dropped?

In that case why are we trying to build Symphony Next? The same argument could be made of building a website powered by Symphony. ;) Generally I don't think anyone minds what tools are used as long as they can build the house of our design. The majority of frameworks mentioned all look to have a very strong future and are all open source so that's a common theme at least.

Fortunately at present things can still progress without needing to decide on a framework just yet...so we can instead use it for spreading festive cheer and community team building spirt. ;)
