Laravel rules, but Phalcon also sounds interesting because of the fact that most of its code is memory resident, meaning it doesn't need to be reloaded and reinterpreted on reach request/response cycle - unique approach with obvious speed advantages, but it never really became popular.

Yes absolutely! I think that this is now what you also get with Laravel Octane, haven't used it personally but watched a few videos about it.

WOW ! Laravel Octane, first time I've heard about this ... so it means Laravel running on top of Swoole, which I did hear about - people have tried to run Laravel on top of Swoole before, and apparently successfully, but with Octane it's officially supported now, that's incredible ...

Laravel just keeps innovating, with Vapor you can even run it on top of AWS Lambda as a "serverless" framework, and now official support for Swoole with Octane ... they're really silencing all those naysayers who keep moaning about Laravel being for amateurs, and that you need to use Symfony or whatever.

Yes, it is absolutely crazy the amount of goot stuff that the Laravel team and community are releasing 🤩

It is, that's why I admire them ... there could always be cases where framework X is marginally better than Laravel in respect Y or Z, but looking at the big picture the Laravel team keep impressing me :)

Absolutely! I could not have said that better!
