Ask Slashdot: One Framework To Rule Them All?

Posted by timothy on from the what's-your-least-displeasure? dept.

New submitter ittybad writes "I work with a small web-based company, and, for some new web applications, we are looking to possibly change frameworks if it will be a benefit to our developers and our customers. We have experience with PHP's Symfony 1.4, and are not happy with what we are experiencing with Symfony 2.0. We have some Ruby guys who would love us to implement a Ruby on Rails solution, and our backend is Python powered — so maybe Django is the way to go. So, I ask you, Slashdotters, what web framework do you find to be the best and why? Why would you avoid others?"

      An Assembly Server Pages framework, HTML with embedded assembly for processing stuff?

      That would go against the whole idea -- you're supposed to write to the network card's ports directly. The instructions you want are IN and OUT. You can do better than to use an existing inefficient IP or TCP stack.

      I guess some soldering iron monkeys will try to dismiss me for not going closer to the metal, though.

      The questioner asked for the "best" framework without defining what best meant, so we can pick whatever criteria we want.

      Assembly is best if you want highest speed and smallest memory size but don't care about development time.

      Personally I would write everything in Perl, because my criterion would be highest job security.

    And, if you consider the flint is considerably more brittle/delicate if the wrong type of force is applied, as compared to steel/iron, the analogy gets even more apt.

    Wow, what an amazing analogy, and it doesn't even involve cars!
