PHP Tarsier

Thoughts on phptarsier

I will be working more on phptarsier to offer more functionalities that mimics some of rails functionality. I have been fascinated with rails features.


One of the greatest advantages of Rails framework is because it it built using Ruby. It is, for me, a great work of art in software.


Why not use Ruby then?


Most of the legacy projects were PHP-based and it might not be a good idea for all of them to be re-written in Rails. There would always be a market for PHP, i think. PHP has its place in Web Development.


My idea is to develop a PHP framework that would give me some functionalities that Rails could offer. Just a thought though.
