Heard of Laravel, it's a Rails fork right?

Laravel is definitely Rails inspired, but also takes inspiration from a lot of other frameworks (CodeIgniter, Symfony, .NET, etc).

I was just teasing, Laravel looks solid. It's also comforting to know that if you move from Laravel world to Rails, a lot is familiar out of the box. It's good for us developers and good for the industry. Which I can't say about js stack/elixir/Golang/Spring etc etc.

Laravel doesn't follow semantic versioning and more important they are sloppy about backwards compatible changes been documented anywhere.

Symfony 4 however is wonderful, they modularised everything, kept backwards compatibility, properly deprecate things and it's fast, like really fast.

Laravel as of > 5.5 (5.8 is current) does not release breaking changes in point releases.

Yes they don't follow semver but a modified version of paradigm.major.minor
