Rails isn't modern. I assume though that at least it does support validation, which is exactly the point. Building a bunch of tests in order to avoid college-level development practices would be a waste. Tests are valuable, but as an additional level of protection on top of good - or just regular - practices.


What are some examples of a modern framework?


Laravel and Yii are my favorites in PHP. Both borrowed concepts from Rails, but brought in the maturity of older PHP frameworks.


> maturity of older PHP frameworks.

I mean Laravel is somewhat good. But there wasn't a real mature PHP Framework in the past. Especially not as mature than Rails, Django.


> Rails isn't modern.

You are using a drastically different version of modern than normal English usage. Where's that Scotsman when you need him?
