>From what I've read both frameworks are awesome and have more simularities than differences, - I am sure both camps will agree. What it comes down to is the choice of language, Ruby vs Python.
Ruby is very elegantly designed language, that is currently gaining popularity in the mainstream. It's designed to make programmers lazy by making the most common programming tasks easy to implement. However what I found I is that I it's currently lacking in mainstream libriaries - I had write SWIG wrappers for stuff I used to take for granted in Python. Rails is Ruby's killer app, - and if you want to learn Ruby, rails the way to do it. But other than rails I don't know of any other popular projects behind it. Python, on the other hand is used literally everywhere, Django just being one of it's many niches. -- Max Shkurygin, aka Mooja. n Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 8:44 AM, Sean Dague <[email protected]> wrote: > Orion Vianna wrote: > > I tried Rails a while ago before I tried Django and it felt a bit slow. > > It seems that Rails is getting some cool stuff now that is getting > > merged with Merb. :o) > > It might feel faster then last time I checked. > > > > Out of Cakephp, Django and Rails, Django has been my favorite so far but > > I might give Rails a try again later.
