Hello! I'm starting with python & web2py and yesterday visited Hello,
I'm starting with Python & Web2Py and yesterday visited one python-related project channel where I mentioned web2py and as the consequence I was quickly advised to abandon it due to 'non-Pythonic' etc. This is not the first time I hear people criticise web2py due to, amongst other things, breaking "Explicit is better than implicit." principle alothough Massimo nicely explains it in the introduction of web2py book. I played for sometime with the Haskell, but eventuall abandon it due to not being pragmatic enough for daily use (e.g. all GUI bindings are maintained by few people only). The same situation was/is with D. Now, I see Python as very pragmatic language, with lot of 'batteries included' and very suitable for all kinds of tasks, so I wonder waht is the real reason of web2py criticism: a) stubborness of (python) people to see that "Explicit is better than implicit." is not engraved in stone and can be violated to keep DRY, b) envy of web2py's success c) something else? As far as I'm concerned, I do not care much 'cause I'm accustomed to do things which are not mainstream, but just curios what do you think?
