Batteries included very opinionated way of building amazing things.
That said you can choose to go your completely own way and ignore the Laravel way. But good luck with hiring.
I think Laravel is the best framework for getting an idea going, to MVP to MMP to scale. It just works.
Purists hate it because it is PHP and they still think it is 1999. They also hate that there is the “Laravel way”, even though you can completely ignore it.
I wouldn't consider it that opinionated, there's many ways to do the same thing. I'd say there's implementation for most design patterns you'd want to use in this context, so you can choose the style pretty much within the boundaries of the framework.
Who, the one guy pledging Trongate, or the people in the Symfony camp?
I assure you React gets plenty of hate from the JavaScript community - enough to spawn over a dozen competitors. At some point, community love/hate is irrelevant.
Interesting take. So you recommend to not give detailed info on a pruduct website and require people to Google?
It's not about me not willing to use Google but about not having me to. I expect to find all relevant information on the website in an easy to find manner.
Theoretically, it's probably better to get information about Laravel from their respective website. I would expect as this is a framework made for Laravel users, you're not really in their target audience anyway.
It would be helpful to explain a little bit about why they like Laravel though, to entice you to read more by yourself.
That would perfectly made sense if the framework intended only for Laravel users willing to work in Go.
But they use the term "Laravel inspired" which can be understood as well as them catering also to regular Go users without prior Laravel experience. If that is the case, it might be worth to explain the features and usage of their product.

Laravel is what the non-cool kids use to ship.
