Since Django is racing towards the 1.0 release (currently in 0.97-

but still the best kept secret of the geeks. Sort of Linux in 2.2
days :-)
If I'd have to bet my career on something in the web area or even
general application development right now, Django would be it.
Do you think that 6-7 months from now, I'll be able to open the
career supplement of a newspaper, or Job-net, or apply to one of the
assignment agencies, and find jobs where the skill set required says
"Django"? I seriously doubt that. Currently, the web market in Israel
is almost exclusively controlled by ASP.Net, even finding a PHP job
(where PHP is at version 5 and has been in the commercial market for
well over seven years) is difficult. I don't think that the
marketplace will be demanding workers in any technology which is
currently pre-release for at least 2 years, and the Israeli market -
who knows. Do you have compelling arguments to the contrary?
Anyway, if I have to go looking for a new job, it's really time for a
change for me, and I don't want to miss this opportunity. If it's
shifting bits around that lands me in a safe and interesting job, I
am not afraid of it. I've been shifting bits when I was 14 years old
and had a 99-byte emulator on a game console to play around with... ;)
