#2Also interested to see what projects use this as a core "micro framework" service or with an SOA architecture. Seems like good flexibility between framework power and lightweight.

Well PHP still rules the hosting landscape. If your company already has php developers then switching languages may not be that easy.

The upcoming PHP 7 version releasing this fall has significant speed improvements.

And what would you propose using instead? Every language has its ups and downsides and the majority of problems (anecdotally anyways) come not from the language but the data store availability and ability to scale anyways.

#7The drop in functionality right into the full framework is fantastic. Really like the ability to write API's with much less overhead, which was a factor that came into play for me recently. Nicely done Mr. Otwell.

#8Looks nice, I really like Slim Framework, this looks a lot like Slim from what I could tell. Gonna be interesting to see how (if at all) this will effect some performance focus from the Slim developers.

I worked at a company that did remote energy monitoring (circuit by circuit, minute by minute for thousands of monitors). We did all the math in PHP, preping, summarizing data and sending it down to web services. It wasn't fast, but it couldn't be considered slow by any stretch.
Plus php has a large library of components (Zend, symfony) and a package manager (composer) that make web development significantly easier.

Well, I'm sure there were a number of key factors involved.
I'm currently porting a rails app to Laravel and the speed boost has been pretty remarkable, not to mention not ever having to install gems whose only purpose is to reboot unicorn when the memory leaks hit a certain threshold.
I didn't choose Laravel because I like PHP (I don't), I chose it because of the need to balance ease of development with speed with having less skilled developers be able to maintain it with a modicum of safety. Not to mention how ridiculously easy it is to horizontally scale PHP.
I'd like PHP more if they dropped the f*cking $ sign though.
It's a good tool if you need to get shit done.
