Show HN: I made a Ruby on Rails-like framework in PHP (Still in progress)
github.comPlay with it and let me know what you think of the architecture & how we can improve it with PHP native functions + speed. CakePHP? As to why anyone thinks this is fun when PHP lacks so much of the expressive power of Ruby that makes Rails delightful... As to speed, I am recalling an experience in 2010 where Rails running on a $30,000 4U 8-core Sun Solaris box ran 6x slower than a $600 4-core Intel CentOS PC from Best Buy. The surprise turned into anger when the Sun box would spontaneously turn off every night with a spontaneous "Case open fault" that turned out to be a firmware defect, where Sun refused to allow access to the update that corrected the defect without paying for a service contract that cost more than the PC. Ah, the good old days of true iron. This is a expriment and having fun not to replace any mature framework
