Does anyone have real arguments for django?? You’re kicking rails, it’s stupid to give arguments against rails if you don’t have any arguments for django.

I do have some arguments:

Ruby is much cleaner than python (self as first argument, in ruby you use iterators/blocks/continuations a lot, in python you have a separate language construct for every problem)
Rails doen’t require so much code for models

But I am sure there are a lot of things that are better in django than in rails. It would be great if the good things in one project are implemented in the other, so both frameworks will improve.

There is another platform for Web development using Ruby. Nitro (and the associated ORM library Og) is gaining momentum. Have a look at http://www.nitrohq.com.

rdk: No video/pictures… But I was sitting there thinking there should have been… However, the tutorials already posted at djangoproject.com are a longer version of the demo… and I hear a screencast is coming soon.

I’m not going there. :-) However, would anyone like to help me write “COBOL on Rails” or “FORTRAN on Rails” in time for an April 1st release next year?

“I hope rails learns to play with Django and they’ll not smite each other…”

Hmm… I’d rather like to see Django crushing their enemies. No mercy, no hesitation. Annihilation!

In fact, limodou wrote it in Chinese, not greek!!! I ,however, don’t know why he replied in Chinese, too.

“I hope Rails learns to play with Django and they’ll not smite each other (if not friends, don’t be enemies). The world is big enough. A combined message from different camps will be more resounding than any one camp trying to say he is the bestest – and coming off as naive or clueless.”
