Furthermore, all PHP frameworks like Yii, Laravel and CodeIgniter follow the same conventions for structuring a project.
I've tried to learn Django and like the syntax. However, I don't like the idea that a project contains multiple apps. I prefer to have large applications that do multiple things. Also, the whole template/view part is a bit confusing for me.
I'm curious what other platforms/languages are the most similar to the structure and deployment of Yii and Laravel projects.
The Java play framework seems like an interesting option.
