Just started leanring Django for the first time this past month and its awesome. I love it a lot.

Spring really is something else when used on the backend... Excellent documentation and massive community... I've used the majority of these frameworks in this list, and it's pretty unbelievable to me that a programming language that has been around for 40 years has gained so much popularity the past 5 years.... Spring MVC pretty lackluster, but everything else is impeccable.

so nice to see laravel in top! such easy and amazing framework!

[IamAWESOME]

laravel is awesome, it is literally the only thing i like about php

[Nab_]

I am I the only one that is not convinced yet with a framework being a fullstack framework like nextJS ?

[ruksharalam]

Do you have a similar video for frontend frameworks?

[RazvanTSibiu]

Does somebody used Laravel with Inertia and React for SPA(single page application)? I want to migrate my NextJS project because in dev it's too slow.

Php is the mother of all languages still😅
On the other hand, Laravel is still the father of all backend frameworks 😮

this is amazing!!!
but the real question is not about what framework is most used or not, this is a personal choice.
all of them are opensource, features are copied between all of them, features are a need of market.
each year, more and more developers enters in market and in each epoch, they (we) has a personal preference of one instead of another.
Rails reigned absolute for many years. was copied by many opf them.
Spring adoption was increasly fast.
Laravel is the choice only after becames mature, after years. this happens with all of them.
.NET was a great platform, but is not so adopted.

Who uses Beego and Iris, I use Echo. But Adonis and Astro are missing out! Meteor was popular for a shortwhile and migrating away from that is high.

Meanwhile Rust and Go developers be like 💀

[hermesfranklin]

csharp's popularity does not match the position they placed for their framework in this statistic, which does not seem to be real

[repotranstech]

Django still the best mature framework.

[altairlight]

laravel is great but php needs a massive update for good. its only being used because of legacy code and wide userbase or else it would be forgotten

[MrGigi-dzcv]

Frameworks are great.
But, If there îs a bug, or the platform doesn't provide what's needed for the project, you need to become a pro.

Laravel is the best backend web framework
