Modern PHP without a framework

Try writing a web app in Luminus (Clojure) or Phoenix (Elixir). I guarantee you will be enlightened. The danger, however, is that you may lose your tolerance for OOP languages thereafter.

Elixir/Phoenix is great and promising but you don't get everything you have in Symfony out of the box. For example the EEx template system is behind Twig (I especially miss inheritance) and Auth/Autorization is kind of a mess.

The ecosystem is also smaller and deployment in Elixir is still a work in progress (mismatch between Mix and Erlang releases).

Yeah because inheritance was always such a great idea :D

Well as Jinga2 and Twig showed, it is for templates ;) Compared to traditional nested includes.
