PHP5 Vs. CakePHP Vs. RubyOnRails?
OldJavaHack writes "If you could start a website (with MySQL for persistence) from scratch and you had a choice of PHP5, CakePHP, or RubyOnRails — which would you choose and why? Things to consider in your decision: 1. Maturity of solution; 2. Features; 3. Size of community of skilled users (to build a team); 4. Complexity/ease of use (for neophytes to master); 5. Greatest strength of your choice, and the greatest weaknesses of the other two. Here is a comparison of capabilities."
And the award to the quickest troll in the world goes to......

1. PHP: What people build real websites with.
2. RoR: What people build websites with because they want to be kewl and later switch to PHP when they realize it simply does not scale, complete with acerbic "I wanted to believe" blog entry and everything
Next?
Pfft.. Real men code websites in Java and ASP. Scalability and performance are for pussies. My server to chugs at 10 hits/minute and it likes it.

kdawson, for posting this absolute shit as an IT story with nothing more than a link to a wikipedia article in the summary!
Congratulations!
Hey, kdawson, while you're reading this, can I just grease you up about a story I want to post about how Steam will replace electricity to power the electric kettles of the future? Thanks buddy!
I don't therefore I'm not.
I think Real Men would be more likely to build the web server and TCP stack into their web sites, for performance reasons.
At least that's what we did in my day.
*cough*
Sure, just log in, go to preferences -> homepage, and uncheck the box that says 'kdawson'. The slashdot admins will instantly take notice of your preference and kick him of the team, and with any luck you'll never hear from him again.
In a fair world, refrigerators would make electricity.
