    Torch is the proof that it's tightly coupled. Why do you even need a repo to show how to do it? Symfony doesn't have this issue. Just look at how much crap you need to wire to use a simple validation component: https://github.com/mattstauffer/Torch/blob/master/components/validation/index.php, it's garbage.
  • someone know a great php framework?

    Other than the big frameworks, you could look at using Slim and other libraries/Symfony components to build your own framework - you could even use some Laravel components too.
  • Am I crazy? Do really all "PHP" companies use either Symfony or Laravel?

    I just don't get why people in php use lazy comparison in php when you know that "0e4"=="0e5" in php.

    and yes, Laravel use lazy comparison. And yes at least three bugs where caused by this use.

    see: https://github.com/laravel/ideas/issues/698 for why I'm a bit grumpy with php ecosystem

    I explained why singleton are not well used. There is plenty of example online. TLDR: Laravel hides a lot of dependencies. You want to use another Container? You cannot. The issue is described here: https://github.com/laravel/ideas/issues/1467.

    By the way Laravel is still PSR-2 and will unlikely adopt PSR-12, while I understand your intentions. I'm on the fence about suggesting Laravel's users to use a coding standard not adopted in the framework.
