Ask HN: What non PHP framework resembles the structure/deployment of Laravel/Yii PHP has been my main language for years, but I want to learn other languages to create web apps. The thing I like the most of PHP is how easy it is to deploy and develop an application. When deploying your app, you only have to update the files with a file transfer or a deployment script, because a PHP interpreter is always running. Furthermore, all PHP frameworks like Yii, Laravel and CodeIgniter follow the same conventions for structuring a project. I've tried to learn Django and like the syntax. However, I don't like the idea that a project contains multiple apps. I prefer to have large applications that do multiple things. Also, the whole template/view part is a bit confusing for me. I'm curious what other platforms/languages are the most similar to the structure and deployment of Yii and Laravel projects. The Java play framework seems like an interesting option. |
