> laravel but not not enough php

I haven't used those much, just glanced over a system written in them. But that sounds bizarre: I thought the whole point of PHP was to be bland and mainstream. If you know how to program at all, then what is there to learn about it?

You'd be amazed what people that barely know any programming can do with laravel. It's scary actually.

I didn't mean that as a criticism. These are all good choices for the role that PHP was intended to play, being the language that everyone writes 10 lines of for their personal website.
