  PHP C-extension (Phalcon)

  • C-extensions are loaded together with PHP one time
    on the web server’s daemon start process
  • Classes and functions provided by the extension are
    ready to use for any application
  • The code is compiled and isn’t interpreted because is
    already compiled to a specific platform and processor

This project hasn't had any discussion on HN for a long time, so we changed the URL to the home page from https://blog.phalconphp.com/post/phalcon-2-1-0-RC1-released.

I don't have a ton of experience with Phalcon, but this has always stood out to me as an option for companies I've worked with who were looking for a capable framework that would give them a boost in performance and versatility.

TBH the most valuable feedback I could get on this is some pros/cons from those who have used it in a production environment.

I've found it to be just as easy to get going with as Laravel. The documentation is good.

PHP came a long way the past few years.
