I am a Django user, but I don't see anything wrong in a JS framework inspired by Django. Afterall, only great things can inspire. But I fail to understand why JavaScript has to be only client side - It is a perfectly valid choice as a server side language for not all, but certainly some use cases. Besides, the server-side portion and the client-side portions can share code. I recently wrapped up a project that involved using Node.js<http://nodejs.org>in the backend, and man how I missed Django there. The current sane choice for a web framework on top of Node is Express.js <http://expressjs.com/>(Node is itself very low level) - which is inspired by Sinatra <http://www.sinatrarb.com/>, a web development framework(they call it a DSL) for Ruby. My point is when something inspired by a Ruby server-side framework can become the de-facto standard choice for the Node.js community, why not let them taste Django? I personally find the idea compelling, but *only* if the server-side capabilities of the language are respected. If we look solely at the client side, no-one would want to ditch jQuery/Prototype ;)
Now for the motivation, I would always love to hack together a quick app using the same language(and importantly, the same mindset) both on the server and client sides ;) And yes, with the WebWorkers API ported to work with Node.js <http://blog.std.in/2010/07/08/nodejs-webworker-design/>(never tried) we are going to see some serious advancements. I understand people's minds have been brutally injured by JavaScript in the past(I'm one of them), but then it *is* a capable language, and it doesn't harm if someone is willing enough to bring reusability and structure to apps written in it by means of a framework.
