[edit] History
CakePHP started in 2005, when Ruby on Rails was gaining popularity. The community has since grown and branched into several sub-projects.
CakePHP was not meant to be an identical copy of Ruby on Rails but a setup similar in design: the concepts and ideas of Ruby on Rails where permitted and needed, the strength of PHP where and when best used.
