Ditto. Django's admin tool is something I haven't seen elsewhere, and it saves me gobs of time. I can't imagine switching to a framework that doesn't have that. But hypothetically, if Clojure did have something like that, I'd consider switching. Another factor to me is the reality of webhosting. There are a number of webhosting services (e.g., webfaction) that make it super-easy to get Django, turbogears, cherrypy, rails, etc. up and running with one-click installers and very detailed tutorials. On the other hand, Java-based servers usually require much more knowledge to deploy, and usually require more memory than the cheapest plans offer. I'd probably be unlikely to switch to Clojure for webhosting without detailed instructions on how to deploy on a well-known, inexpensive hosting service (like webfaction). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
