CakePHP vs. Ruby on Rails
I can’t decide whether or not to just go with Ruby on Rails, or stick with CakePHP. Working off a framework is important nowadays. It is very hard to maintain a large project at startup without a proper Model View Controller (MVC) setup.
Here are some of my quick thoughts:
- I like PHP because I am more familiar with it, and don’t have the time learn a completely new language.
- Many libraries I use are written in PHP; it would seem like a big hassle to find all the tools again for Ruby.
- It does seem like the MVC setup in RoR is a bit more solid a well built.
- I am not sure whether to tie the current engineering problems at Twitter to RoR.
- CakePHP has less documentation than RoR.
- Ruby has been debated to be slow.
- PHP might be a better solution for you if you are limited by a shared host or cost.
I’ll keep you updated on what I choose in the future. Any inputs? Django?
