There's nothing in your list which doesn't have an equivalent in the Rails and Django ecosystems. Laravel is just another MVC framework built with a dynamically-typed scripting language. Rails, Django, Laravel - take your pick. Same wine in a similar bottle.



I've worked 8+ years with Django and the last 2~3 years with Laravel. Other than the admin, I don't miss anything from Django. Laravel is so much better in almost every other aspect.


OP seems to quite vehemently disagree that they are that alike even though he has more experience with Django than with Laravel. Curious what explains this gap.


>doesn't have an equivalent

Having an equivalent and being included and used by default is very different. To the point Laravel is more opinionated ( so to speak ) than Rails.
