Akelos Framework
« on: June 28, 2009, 09:28:24 PM »
Just curious if anyone has used Akelos before?  http://www.akelos.org/  It looks quite interesting but their community is reminiscent of a graveyard...  :-\

It's written in php4 which (in my books) means its our of date.

But so are the popular CakePHP, CodeIgniter, and others.  Only a few truly use PHP5 only... In all fairness, the choice of PHP flavour technically shouldn't make this framework any worse than the others because it uses PHP4, imho.

I don't really agree.  Where a framework is concerned, the advances to php's oop capabilities make a big difference, in my opinion.

I don't think it restricts the programmer from developing with PHP5 though - similar to CodeIgniter and CakePHP.  I thought the only two major frameworks that completely rely on PHP5 is Zend and Symfony and I hated them both for tasting like pound cake.  But anyway, I digress... was wondering if anyone has used it and if they have, how did they find it?
