incomparable. I do have my thoughts, but I cannot follow yours. First there is a difference between scripting and non-scripting languages. Which in reality is often: "I cannot see my source code on the server" The reality is that there are very few different programming models: Lets say OO vs procedural vs functional There is support for almost each of them in almost every language. It doesnt matter which language you code in, but if you can produce good code on good design fitting into your architecture fulfilling your requirements. The role of a framework is to provide standard components and patterns, so that the amount of problems is reduced. because php sucks, it is good that there is symfony. because javascript sucks, it is good that there is jquery. java doesnt suck so much, but there are also frameworks. If you think that Java EJB is the superior model then you might find out one day that the Shared nothing architecture PHP applications have is much easier to scale. But you can also have the same situation with Java and Spring which scales much better than a coupled php architecture. There is no silver bullet and There aint no such thing as free lunch Fabian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
