Ruby has 7 frameworks that I know of: Nitro, IOWA, Ramaze, Cerise, Ruby on Rails, Merb and Camping. http://www.nitroproject.org/ http://enigo.com/projects/iowa/ http://ramaze.net/ http://cerise.rubyforge.org/ http://www.rubyonrails.org/ http://www.merbivore.com/ http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping The most popular PHP frameworks are Rails clones it seems. Zend's best effort at a framework is an almost direct copy of the Mojavi framework. Further, if the number frameworks a language has is any measure of that's language's quality or capabilities (clue: it isn't) then why aren't you a Java guy? It clearly has _more_ frameworks. > php affords the power of choice. > and last time i checked, php was a lot faster: > > http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all That benchmark doesn't include Ruby 1.9. > also, if you want to see some code generation, php-style, check out propel Propel still uses XML last I messed with it. Yaml is a lot better for similar tasks. The syntax is a lot smaller which makes it a lot faster than XML. Perfect example of an advance in web technology. -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
