Ruby on Rails - Python Django (- Php)

[DEVILofDARKNESS]

What do you guys think about ROR and Django?

And are they better (in some points) then php?

[Daniel0]

PHP is a language while RoR and Django are frameworks. I don't see how you can compare them. You can compare PHP to Ruby and Python if you wish.

Okay but I don't really think it is good to compare php with python and ruby cause the last 2 are not web-based programming languages but system-based ?

 

But my main thread is actually what you think about rails and django..

Not sure what you mean by "web-based". PHP is a "system-based" (as you put it) language also. It can be used for things other than making web pages. It just happens to be that making web pages is what it was originally created for and it's a very popular tool for it.

 

I prefer to use Ruby instead of PHP because the syntax is easier to write and read. Nothing against PHP. It's what I started in and I still use it often.

 

I tried Rails because of all the "automagic" things it did for you. I still use it because it's easy to get up and running quickly and Ruby is a joy to code in. Yes, PHP has it's MVC frameworks also, some of which work almost exactly like Rails.

 

I haven't tried Python or Django yet so I can't comment on them. Maybe I'll get around to it sooner or later.
