The King Perl has died. Long live CakePHP!

Today Lucho accepted the offer of joining our team! Two minutes after he was questioning the use of Perl in the project. What a way of starting!

Two weeks ago we had agreed that the new architecture we wanted would not allow us to import code from other applications we had developed in Perl. As a consequence, we determined that would have to code from scratch pretty much everything. We never thought out of the box, though: we had selected Perl just because we would use existing code. It didn’t make sense any longer.

Today we all agreed that the best bet would be CakePHP. We also concluded that all the work Henry had done during the past two weeks rewriting a framework in Perl was great, but still many years away from reaching most of the capabilities that CakePHP already includes. Sorry Henry, we luv ya!

Thank you Lucho and Germán for the demo! CakePHP looks impressive.
