Anyone up for a battle between Django, RoR, PHP (and the many frameworks of it), etc.? Develop a simple system, and provide benchmarks and other stats.
I’m just going to watch and judge this one… anyone want to volunteer a language?
There are already a few benchmark test results out there for frameworks… I was looking them up when trying to figure out which to develop with. I ended up going with Codeigniter, as a found a few benchmark tests that made it appear pretty fast. Here’s One Test
Also it seemed really simple, no fluffy extras besides the basic features and security (which i like as i’m used to programming natively in php), its loosely coupled, easy to extend and mess with the core classes, and has one of the more comprehensive and readable framework documentations out there (although seems to be lacking a direct API reference)
theres my 2¢

That comparison only talks about PHP frameworks.
I think at this point, everybody’s already decided PHP is crap and should never be used for anything.

If that was actually true, then everybody’s blogs would be powered by Django; unfortunately people are idiots and can barely follow WordPress’s easy install without screwing up somehow. And just getting Django working on any computer is about ten times as hard as setting up an advanced install of WordPress.
