Probably talking about Laravel.... I'm curious what you think not liking PHP says about someone?
He didn't say that someone not liking PHP says something about them. What he said was that someone giving flak to another for using PHP says something about them.
Ah ok sorry. I misread that.

#14Disturbingly, I could have written this exact article. But I never made the "ruby" mistake, to some of us, that was obvious, though Rails was a cool concept, just better implemented in other more performant languages.

For Java I would say that Dropwizard if not a direct copy, definitely was inspired by the simplicity of Rails.
For Python it would probably be Django, but I'm still a novice in Python.
In terms of build chain, the declaritive nature of Maven as a build tool (far from perfect, but extensible) and then likewise in Python the setup.py bits.
Looking at other languages, Cargo has a similar declarative build chain for Rust, and I think a lot of the package management that we see out there was inspired generally by Ruby. Again, cool concepts, but for me Ruby never was more than a toy.
