Kg,

Since we are on the topic of frameworks, have you looked at Scala and the
Lift Framework? What I find amazing is the performance - it is on par or
slightly faster than plain Java on many benchmarks. To put that in
perspective, it is several times faster than groovy, ruby and python. This
is because scala runs directly on the JVM.

Take a look:

By the way, I have done considerable programming on python and have used
plone. Fact is, I have used plone to run our own intranet here at
Songbird. I think it is an excellent framework - but a bit complicated to
customize.

If you prefer using Python and like more speed, you can look at the
upcoming Cobra language.

They are porting this to work over the jvm as well. May be interesting to
port Django over to use Cobra. Cobra and python are similar enough and so
it may not be that difficult.

Regards,
Prem
