Minimalistic and simple to kickstart API project. Can also be used as micro services. It has basic framework required to create REST like services. You can use other python library in conjunction with Bottle to create more sophisticated projects. I recommend this for proof of co cepts, college/university as well as for startups.

Laravel has changed the way I see Php, it has made the process of building my websites incredibly easier, you pretty much have any basic php function compiled into a single command, relationship between tables is made in a way that you just need to know basic logic and Laravel/Eloquent will do the rest.

Laravel meet the expectation on easy to do code. It has so many tricks that make me do the project effectively. Laravel's eloquent model is also very good. Laravel also provide so many helpers that very effective to help me develop my project. Laravel also makes me feel easy to call variables from view.
