-Laravel is a clean and classy framework for PHP web development. Freeing you from spaghetti code, Laravel helps you create wonderful applications using simple, expressive syntax. Development should be a creative experience that you enjoy, not something that is painful. Enjoy the fresh air.
-
-#### Simple, Expressive Syntax
-
-Stay true to the web with RESTful routing:
-
-	'GET /' => function()
-	{
-		return View::make('home/index');
-	}
-
-Redirect to a named route and flash something to the session:
-
-	return Redirect::to_profile()->with('message', 'Welcome Back!');
-
-Retrieve recent blog posts and eagerly load the comments using Eloquent ORM:
-
-	$posts = Post::with('comments')->order_by('created_at', 'desc')->take(10)->get();
-
-Get input from the previous request to re-populate a form:
-
-	echo Input::old('email');
