Comment on Ask HN: Is it a bad idea to learn PHP/Laravel instead of Ruby/RoR?

Comments

Nobody can make the decision of which language to use for you. Both options can work fine, it all comes down the details of your experience, your goals, and the current situation/state of affairs.

I've done extensive development in both of these languages/frameworks (and many more). I'd be happy to hop on a call with you to provide additional information to help you decide; my email address is in my profile.

Thanks Jay, just sent you an email. And yeah, I see your point, guess I'm just not ready to make a decision yet.

I was definitely planning on Ruby initially, but after my experience with the job market and available local resources I'm now leaning towards PHP.
