Can you give examples of how Laravel is playing catch-up in these regards? Backend/front-end integration is very well done with Livewire/Inertia. Simplicity while providing batteries is a given, but even more so with some of the starter kits. And honestly, I’ve been quite impressed with all the high quality, Laravel-specific packages out there (looking at you, Spatie).

I’ll definitely give you non-web usage and most of language features (even though PHP nowadays has first class type support, which can’t be said of Rails, unfortunately). And yes, concurrency is all but absent.

Apart from RoR, I haven’t used much else in the full stack framework space, so I’d love to hear!




I think even your knowledge is lacking in how awesome PHP is for web dev.

Instead of Inertia, we have Livewire now Filament for amazingly quick and super powerful admin panels (like Avo for Rails)

Not including everything else available for auth, payments, basically any non unique SaaS feature has a good package available.

There is definitely concurrency with Swole (and implemented in Laravel with Optane, giving a 2x speed boost by default.)
