We are a group of 5 engineers team happily using Python/Django [1] and jQuery to build a Web 2.0 site.

We started to learn and use Django at the end of 2005, after a brief learning and comparison of Django, Ruby on Rails and CakePHP. Given our previous Python background, the decision wasn't hard to make. During the course of nearly one year's Django journey, we never doubt that we picked the right toolset for ourselves. This article [2] echoed our learning and experience with Ruby vs. Python and Rails vs. Django. We didn't pick Python/Django by faith, we picked them because they are the best tools to express our minds.

We picked up jQuery about 1 month ago, and the joy is no less than our appreciation of Django. Both communities have many similarities: friendly, fun-looking, innovative and so on.

As a result of all these, now other engineers (Java and PHP) in our company started to embrace the toolset of Python/Django/jQuery.

Our 2 cents.

To all,

First of all: apologies for this non-jquery related question, but since there are many experts in web-development on this list, I dare to ask it anyway.

Our company is looking for a way for 'quick' web-development. Small webapps
consisting of a few webpages with some minimal database interaction.

We currently develop everything in Java (including webapps), but I find the whole cycle of developing, compiling (java class files, EJBs etc), deploying, JNDI setup, db resource setup and recompilation (of the jsps) too heavy. Additionally, for applications with a limited number of users (50 would be a huge userbase in this case), I think that a clustered multitier application
server (our current deployment platform) is waaaayyyy too complex.

I would like to propose a (any?) scripting language as alternative.

Without making a choice for any language, I am looking for arguments why a
dynamic scripting language in general would be better.
Of course, I am also interested in language characteristics. I know PHP pretty well, but the other languages are, from a technical point of view, unknown to
me.

If you feel that this is too off-topic to reply to the list, please reply to
my personal address!!!

Barry
