Django is a little use. (For Startups) Why?

5 points by zkylab 16y ago ↗ HN

python and ruby biggest rival. Ruby on rails on the web there. There are many types of Python framework.

But there is a problem. web-based startups are usually done with rails. Made with a handful of startups why Python does not pass? Plurk.com Youtube.com Friendfeed.com Reddit.com etc

With Rails I can say the dozens here.

Why not do the project the web with python?

I avoid Python philosophically due to language feature shenanigans like this: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=98196 And this: http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Python/comp.lang.python/...

Because of that, I've never tried django.

Shenanighans?

Perhaps you should try and write a language from scratch, see it come into wide use, develop millions of users and then issue opinions?
