Will I like the Metro PHP framework?

  • Do you like performance?
  • Do you want more Rapid in your RAD?
  • Do you prefer the "has-a" over the "is-a" paradigm?
  • Do you ever think you're spending more time configuring your current framework than writing good code?

If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions then fork metrophp/metroproject and start coding smaller.

Why might I not like Metro?

If you...
  • think PHP has a long way to go to reach Java feature parity
  • dislike typeless languages
  • feel discomfort if every aspect of a Web request isn't handled by an abstract, interface, and concrete implementation class.

If you identify with any of these statements then these aren't the droids you're looking for.
