The demonstrated modularity is impressive. I also looked at the recent reddit link. I must say the DAL is amazing. I've done Perl professionally for 12 years with a focus on database processing and I wish I had had DAL at my disposal.
I would like to discuss one thing said in this video - "the web2py template language is the best" It certainly is the most convenient and intuitive approach to templating. However, I've always been a fan of push-style templating ( http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=674225#python ) and insuring that the processor was separate from the processed. Hence, I tend to generate HTML in a DOM like fashion. In my one Python job, I used meld3 from Python for that purpose. I dont think the HTML created with web2py's template system is well-formed is it? <table> {{ for row: in rows }} <---- breaks well-formedness? <tr> ... </tr> One other thing, I notice web2py ships with jQuery, which is massively popular and succinct. However, I find jquery a bit lacking in UI and am probably going to use Dojo for what I'm working on at the moment. I searched these archives and there appears to be no issue with hooking in dojo.
