It all depends on what do you want to do. Maybe you can give us some details - django is good, but it's not good for Everything. a - I thought websites should be serious applications. b - That statement is weak, many things are "slow" compared to lower level implementation, but are a lot better in other ways. With the hardware that "serious applications" will be running on, "slow" is a term that does not apply. The amount of requests per second I can get out of my django-based systems is impressive. c - noone is forcing you to use them in the way they're defined. You can make your own, or not use them at all, if you don't need them. Again, it only depends on what are you trying to write. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
