Hi Lloyd, I don't think there's much difference at the end of the day.

The real difference is a combination of your preferences, your skills and the market if you're looking for a job.

Laravel is a framework for PHP.
ASP.NET (the Core version) is a framework you can use with both C# and F# (not sure if other .NET languages are supported).

C#, F# and PHP are all quite fast too.

Do you have expertise in any of those languages? Would you be starting from zero in either? What's your motivation behind this question?

Thank you. I have been developing desktop applications in C# at University but however, my web development courses where in PHP(laravel framework). I really never understood why. I am now doing my own web applications and not particularly sure which framework I should use and for what reasons.

Which language do you enjoy? Writing code should be a positive experience. I'd be less motivated if I was using a technology "just because".

If you're familiar with C#, why not try to build a simple web app with ASP.NET and .NET Core and see how it feels?

Trust yourself (ok now I sound like a guru :D)
