#13Looks 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 completely agree. I've used Slim in lieu of Laravel for a number of small API projects. I'm excited about porting them over to Lumen.

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 h…
The dollar sign usually only bothers me after I've gone away and written a little Python. Actually, has anyone ever tried a 'CoffeeScript for PHP' that removed the dollar sign, replaced the `->` with dot syntax, and smoothed over the various other syntax features that people complain about? Not that I'd think there'd be much point really, apart from being a fun project.

PHP makes for fast development, even if there are languages out there that offer faster execution.
Laravel has been ~100% HHVM compatible for a while, so you might not even have to worry about execution speed if you go with Lumen.

Not sure how actively maintained it is, but you could try Mammouth: http://mammouth.wamalaka.com/
My only hesitation with it has been that you need Node.js to compile it to regular PHP -- it offers no analogue to coffeescript's eval-in-browser mode for development.
