At work I use C# / .net but outside work I use PHP / Laravel.

I notice they are very similar.

Also .net used “razor”

Laravel uses “blade” - “razor blade”

Is there some sort of overlap between .net and laravel I’m not aware of?

Not that I’m aware, naming is hard, unique naming even harder.

I imagine people independently settled on those similar names because they sounded cool.

is there some overlap between anything PHP and anything C#?

NO, not at all. Because C# is sane.

@DLMousey ah ok that might explain it. Taylor, for those who don’t know is the creator of laravel. So if you’re saying he was a long term .net dev then that may indeed explain the similarity.

.net is a great framework and Laravel has really brought PHP (with PHP 7) back into modern relevance.

@Midnigh-shcode ok big dawg. Whatever you say.

@DLMousey is indeed correct. He took all the best bits from the .NET world and brought them to PHP.

I’m in the same boat. C# at work, PHP at home.
