I expect that most of the people on this list have chosen Django for their project(s), which would probably make our view a little skewed ;)
That said, the thread you reference is basically a framework religion war. You may have noticed: there are extremely negative comments about every framework on that post. Personally, I give Django a definite "yes". It sees active development (and with useful improvements!), great documentation, tons of 3rd party libraries, a helpful community, and is proven on a number of high-profile projects (maybe you've heard of Instagram?) _Nik On 12/18/2012 1:36 PM, sparky wrote: > I'm hoping this is the right place to ask such questions, please > forgive me if not. > > I'm making a real time investment in learning another server side > language.
