Hey All,
Sorry all. I accidentally submitted my message somehow.
I wanted to say that I like the direction Django is going compared to the
other Python frameworks for its routing. I've looked at Express.js,
angularjs, rails, and MVC.NET as well. And Django is definitely the easiest
to read among them.
I think this syntax offers both simplicity in not missing dumb stuff like
the leading ^ and the trailing $, but it also lets us work toward more
expressive routing patterns in the future.
