Django vs Laravel

Django started first, in 2005, 6 years before Laravel.

Why Django lasted

  • Batteries included is still a selling point after twenty years of microframeworks.
  • The admin, the ORM, and the security defaults are why news orgs and governments still start here.

Why Laravel lasted

  • It made PHP feel like a modern framework again: artisan, Eloquent, the docs, the people.
  • Taylor Otwell as a steward plus a conference circuit is a distribution machine.
