Am I doing something wrong or why does it call itself a "micro-framework". A newly created Slim project contains 7417 lines of code.

No. http://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/2zhg6z/how_true_is_this... Read that and tell me that it is Ok..And see how that comment has been downvoted. That is PHP community for you. In 2015.
A single downvote on a subreddit is indicative of the PHP community as a whole? Well, shit, time to ditch the language... Why would you think the third value in ['ab', 'cd', '10', 'gh', '24'] would have a key of '10'? That's the value, not the key. The docs are quite clear on how this works: http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php foreach (array_expression as $value) vs. foreach (array_expression as $…
Anyway, it's not surprising. /r/PHP doesn't handle criticism well.

I've done some projects with Silex and it's not bad but I've found myself losing quit a bit of time because you can never really use most components exactly like in the Symfony standard distribution but the docs mostly show you that way. Also you have to be careful with dependencies version or you're quickly in Composer hell (because Symfony moves forward so fast). Always wanted to compare it with Slim but didn't tak…
>you can never really use most components exactly like in the Symfony standard distribution I'm glad its not just me. The documentation gave me problems. I started wondering why I didn't just use symfony in the first place.
It also helps me keeping current with the framework since it's currently all the rage in the (French) PHP job market.

Anyone still hating on PHP in 2015 is doing it wrong.

Correct. The runtime uses a copy-on-write implementation when you pass an array by value. Duplicating an array in memory every time it is passed to or from a function would be awful.
> Duplicating an array in memory every time it is passed to or from a function would be awful. This might be because I originally learned PHP about 16 years ago, but I could swear this used to be the case. There's definitely a reason PHP has the reputation it has, although many of those glaring issues have since been fixed.
I've just created a project with lumen to have a look at it and lumen and all its vendor packages (with --no-dev and without tests) contain 1522 files and 102449 lines of code – according to cloc. Am I doing something wrong or why does it call itself a "micro-framework". A newly created Slim project contains 7417 lines of code.

The framework's author addressed this on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/32kajb/lumen_php_microf...
Interesting. I guess he/she is implying that Lumen is PSR-7 compliant than by the last sentence? Thanks!
As someone who develops/maintains many high-IO requirement PHP microservices (as part of a service-oriented architecture, or, SOA), I'm torn on this one. Laravel is one of my favorite frameworks, especially since 5.0 given its noble attempt to adhere to contract-first/interfaced development and many best practices that in some ways prevent the "worst" kinds of code from being written. It's not static typing, but it's…
Can you expand upon that or provide a link with more info? Why would it lead to memory leaks?

I'd say writing off an entire language with a vague anecdote is worth at least a little scrutiny or clarification.
People have been doing that with PHP for years. Yes, it's true that there's a ton of really bad code out there. But that's a measure of it's popularity. There's also a ton of bad C and Java out there. And yet, no one dismisses those languages because of that.
(But don't worry, dear reader -- you're probably the exception!)
PHP gets singled out for a bit of extra abuse (some perhaps justifiably, some not so much), but it's far from the only language whose popular conception is not so much based on thoughtful evaluation.
