Laravel vs Django - What to choose and why? 

It's also just very much not true

it is not true. Laravel is easier to learn if you are already good with php

I think it is subjective, you can learn django faster if you have solid knowledge about python.

Coming from someone who both doesn't know python and php when i started django is easier. Don't quit tho

Why Django is pain it's just python function and tuple

Python is slowest ever.

i love python and it is the first time i heard someone said that 🤣🤣

Who needs speed my friend? Both frameworks can handle the load 95% of the websites today get. If you think your app will be a new facebook you are delusional, and if you really can get there, you’ll have a lot of money to hire someone to fix the problem and you won’t even care

@@cristianbilu I see people naively saying django is faster than laravel Speed shouldn't be a reason to use 1 framework over the other

It surprises me

Coming from non IT grad. Laravel and php has steep learning curve than python and django

To me Laravel and Django as FRAMEWORKS are the same in terms of difficulty, maaaybe Laravel a bit harder since the file structure is not as intuitive and simple as Django. Language wise, yes PHP is harder than Python purely by how Python writes syntax so cleanly, but is mostly that, a harder language would be C since there you have to declare everything.

I was thinking that the entire time. Django Rest makes handling APIs as easy as in Laravel imo.

And FAST API

"most popular and stable frameworks" is just Laravel and Symfony anyway... Both of them had integrate a ton of new php 8+ to their ecosystem. Most notably 8.1 enum and return type

@@khangle6872 at the end of the day you most likely do not need a framework. I used to have that mentality but contrary to what most people would argue, less is more. Why add an extra layer of complexity?

@@botcontador3286 time efficiency and consistency Back when i first learned web development, i built a system in pure java, spent months writing my own router, password hash, directory structures, etc. It was fun figuring out stuff but took way too long, i can accomplish everything i had done in those months in literally 10 minutes with Laravel. In a company, time spent is critical. It is money and the quick kickstart of framework is quite frankly indispensable. If we stop working with frameworks we would be gone in less than 6 months You could argue that i can write common components that can be copy-pasted between projects to save time. But that is literally what a framework is, if i am creating my own custom framework. I'd rather use a battle-tested one Then we also have coding style. Custom code is by default hard to onboard. We contracted a legacy Java codebase written in a custom internal framework not so long ago. There is absolutely NO document and we spend almost 2 months to figure out wtf it is doing and what belong to what. In contrast, a recent Laravel contract took us about 2-3 days to know the ins and outs, with the official documents already explain like 60-70% of the code base

after python 3.11 maybe not.

nope

Nope and the annotation in python makes it better

vite is amazing

That will come up in the future.

Huh? Im pretty sure you can use vite with Django just serve the main html as template

Use htmx. And tailwinds you don’t even need js 😂

@@Yarkanlaki agree

Thank you. I do the animations in Adobe After Effects. 😊

yes

My school taught me C as a starter language to force to have fundamental levels of programming lol. I thank them so much, after learning C, everything was a smooth ride.

Well, not anymore with livewire

@@hsemix yes livewire is the best

Based on your personal experience, which one was easier to learn, python or php?

Both languages was easier for me, and I started with PHP before learning Python.

@@lejames5987 python

Really? I've seen many more job ads about PHP than Python for Web development, especially in freelancing.

I've been bombarded by offers for laravel devs, I've yet to find one for Django.

Django is good enough to create any project you dream of

@@RaefetOuafiqo but so many drawback of django 😢😢

@@kapilpoudel8452 nah it's good, ive been using it for so long, and created many high products.

I don't necessarily think you need to shift to one or the other. Just learn the two frameworks, more power to you. Plus frameworks evolve over time, keeping pace with both them should help you as well. Plus, sometimes I think one can come up with new breaking features and you can easily pick it up since you have basic knowledge of both.

Keep learning Django. Once you get a grasp on it, learning Laravel will be way more easier as it will be a matter of comparing the different ways to do things in Laravel to Django (which you already know).
