If Rails can do it, then chances are Django will to. With possibly less performances and scaling issues. FWIW, Rails don't seem to score that high in the "highly concurrent, distributed" domain. If you want "highly concurrent, distributed" stuff, you might be better basing your dev on Erlang. > Has anyone ever used it in this context?

Anyone have any thoughts? "social networking" can require as much "data processing" as any CRM or "billing system" or other similar stuff. And anything you can write as a web app can of course be done with Django. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
