Is there anybody else doesn't like the minimal framework files ? After many years of development with laravel these files became a second nature and can easily reach to them, but after being minimal, it will take developers some times to adapt specially the kernel stuff and middlewares

Great works. Thank you so much for making developers' life easier.

Thanks for all the value that the Laravel team provides, Herd is an amazing tool, and Volt looks interesting to at least handle all the component logic & presentation in the same places like Vue or React, I have mixed feelings about Folio... I think that it could be nice for static pages... but for a pretty large backend application it could lead to handling logic in a pretty inconsistent way: If I should use only blade files a consistent approach could be to handle it with controllers->simple blade templates and use Volt only in the places that makes sense... but definitely a game changer as always the Laravel team adding great things to the community

it's crazy how far laravel has come i started with laravel 3/4, php doesn't need javascript unbelievable what a time for programmers.

[danfg]

Wow! Such an amazing guy... even though he uses spaces instead of tabs.

[maduonline]

Surprises as always. Thank you guys for all the amazingnous. :)

These innovations are really great, I am curious to see what new things can happen in the future. 😍

Volt is looking a little bit like Remix. I'm excited to give it a try with Folio. Its simplicity is particularly helpful for smaller applications.

[aeid]

Some of the words that made me happy is that taylor mentioned (if you like folio) which means that it is an optional sol.
Since with complicated large scale apps, this from my point of view will not be easy to maintain

[sentgine]

Looking forward to Laravel 11's official launch!

[bulent]

Not a fan of react like blade approach but some people will love for sure. Thanks for everything.

While I enjoy the JS stylish development (like Vue) as a PHP dev - and it removes many of the headaches there was in the past with AJAX request, I am concerned over it appearing that we are going full circle back into the old days of PHP where you'd write your logic in your template.

MVC exists for a reason, regardless, let's see how it will progress and how maintainable projects will be using this development methodology.

Wish I could be there for the conference 🥲 enjoyed every second watching. Thanks taylor for best framework in the world 🎉

[PabloRodriguez-sugp]

I don't like the hiding of the config files. That's a lot of functionality that exists and it's evident fairly easily for any developer. I get making things easier and less overwhelming for newcomers but these simple files are very easy to understand. I don't really see the downside in keeping them by default

[Somcoders]

Waaaw! Laravel team never disappoint xD.

[vivekwah]

By simply witnessing it, it's clear that we've made significant progress from our initial point. The intensity of the applause can provide insights into the anticipation of these various use cases.

websockets is still has rudimentary support and not supported in octane-swoole, what we need to do.. Another kind of defining blade component but in js style! Geniusly. Websockets even hasnt two direction data transfering from client to server e.g. such a shame.

[xristianmatos]

Are you getting this error when calling the "provide" function in Volt "Call to undefined function Livewire\Volt\provide()"? I can see Taylor using it in the Todo example but for some reason, the function is not available in the repository at volt/functions.php.

[magalhaesmurilo]

Too bad Herd isn't available on Linux or Windows. It looks like such a great tool

[name_less]

So glad I made the switch back to laravel from nextjs a few months ago. Now they are basically the same, anyway. lol
