ThePrimeTime·1yLaravel Creator talks PHP, Lambos, and VC
In this episode of 'The Top Shelf,' Taylor Otwell, creator of Laravel, discusses the history of Laravel, the recent $57 million raise with Excel, and the technology choices for developing Laravel applications. Otwell explains his preference for Vue.js over React, although Laravel's latest product, Laravel Cloud, uses React due to its extensive ecosystem. The conversation delves into Inertia.js, a project that allows developers to write full-stack applications with modern JavaScript front ends while keeping traditional server-side routing and data retrieval. Otwell also shares insights into maintaining Laravel's code quality and the importance of building the hardest part of a project first.
