Hi Emmanuel, Regarding #1: I didn't see any new SaaS service in the last couple of years written in Java/.Net - the conventional wisdom among developers is not to use these languages for new services/projects. If you don't have any legacy code, no reason to choose them. Check this presentation from YouTube regarding why Python makes so much sense for a large web service: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW5_eEKEC28
Regarding #2: 1st, in the SaaS model, your customers are usually agnostic to the technology behind the scenes, so, such objections are not that relevant. Having said that, I'm not aware of any such concern with Python, & you can consult with Google & NASA who chose Django for their cloud computing offerings without any Python concern (see NASA's choice explanation here<http://nebula.nasa.gov/services/framework/> ). Check also this discussion in LinkedIn about Django & the enterprise: http://bit.ly/6APYVi If you want, you're invited to a small conference my company is doing on Django next week, which should explain why your choice is the right one: http://www.tikalk.com/tce-tikal-community-event-27110-presenting-django Good luck, Udi On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 3:53 PM, Emanuel <[email protected]> wrote: > Shalom Haverim. > > I'm building a bunch of cloud based tools for SaaS applications > developers and I decided to use Python + Django for the development of > these tools...
