That's cool. I still wonder what will be the main difference between "DjangoPHP" and the other frameworks. Don't they support most of the same features that Django provides?
Well, you could ask the same about Zend, Laravel or Symphony — what’s different between them? Even though they support most of the same features, they’re implemented in unique ways. None of them are like Django, though. I think it’d be cool to have a Django-like framework for PHP.
You're right, I can see that. Would it not be a good idea to create a higher level framework based on one of the existing ones? With a mature and massively used core you could focus more on making your framework user [developer] friendly in the way you think Django gets it right.
I am just thinking out loud. It's a good idea, but I am afraid it could easily be too much work to reinvent a wheel instead of building the car around a well tested existing.
I think the core of the framework needs to be written from the ground up. The core is the basis of Django’s API. Trying to mimic it on another framework’s core would hinder the development at some point.
