Laravel vs Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails started first, in 2004, 6 years before Laravel.
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.
Why Ruby on Rails lasted
- It taught a decade of startups that a web app is a folder with opinions.
- Shopify, GitHub, Basecamp, and a long tail of apps that still print money in Ruby.
