@raf its not for a client. I would be the client ;) its an idea I've had that I now have enough money in the bank to fund. Ive started laying out the basics of what I want the backed to do so I'm now at the opportunity to create an alpha of the concept.
@heavyt I must admit that its going to heavily be dependent on the developer ( of course! ) but I think after hearing @sublocked and your thoughts I think it has solidified in my mind that its going to be rails. I think your right ror far outstretches any php framework which means that if something were to happen to the original ror dev i can imagine it is easier to transition to another rather than looking for a php dev with specific requirements.
@subblocked Thanks for your thoughts, I think you have pretty much summed up the side of me on the ror side of the fence, the only thing that made me lean to php was the 'of the shelf' solutions which are tempting but I want this to be a work of art, a true craft of a service so ror all the way. Plus your spot on test driven development, easier syntax, solid framework and a thriving community makes it a clear winner over a specific php framework.
Will keep you posted on how it goes, Its going to be a crazy thing hiring someone who is most likely on more than me per day ( guess I'm going to have to hit up some serious overtime just to break even with the ror developer )
