phalcon or just php?

Question

PHP

I saw a similar question here, only there about frameworks and online stores and it's not entirely clear.
What is better to write on the frame (phalcon) or on pure php?
I really liked Phalcon, for its speed and low consumption, is it so?
Should it be chosen for the development of cms, or rather a blog?
How much does it outperform regular php?
And what pitfalls can be encountered?

Answer 1

And how can it be better than pure PHP?
It's just a frame that is faster than other frames due to the fact that it is in C and more memory-optimized!
But you will still do the logic of your application in PHP using ready-made components from the frame, so the Question is not correct, you cannot compare the language and the framework.
The payoff compared to other frameworks written in PHP is obvious!
And if you write in pure PHP, you will implement your mini-frame to one degree or another, so choosing Phalcon will be a plus, because you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. (unless, of course, your project is not trivial or highly specialized, where it would be better to write your own, but then you can also reconsider the choice of language there)
