I did long time ago in django... why they are scared and for what, I really don't know. Most coders always believe that if they find something that makes them really satisfied, it should and must be the best of the best. It doesn't get into their minds, that there are other frameworks or even application servers that would serve them well or even better in their projects they are coding at. it's a similar > phenomena to how many people program in "Rails" and not "Ruby".

This is because they make simple web stuff, like templating. At the moment you create RIA applications, or something that has to play deep with JSON and object databases, then the thing gets really difficult. coding in many of these frameworks is more like configuring > an XML file than writing a program. > just when they make simple stuff.... however, as I said, when the jobs are getting really difficult, and complicated, then the games over. for example: - server side image manipulation - extensive play of javascript frontend with python backend - RIA application coding, where javascript sends a request, and the dataset serverside has to be prepared for the client properly for further presentations Tamer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
