#4Glad to see this resolution. There was no need to include it in Django by default, but having it under the official Django umbrella is excellent.

There is already a planned Channels integration for DRF to enable realtime API support. http://www.django-rest-framework.org/topics/mozilla-grant/
Initial plans for the Mozilla grant also included making DRF an official Django project, but details are sparse.

Can I ask what you like about Django? As a former Django user I've become quite jaded on the framework, and would caution you against using it if you need data integrity, performance, or a complex front-end.

Any chance you could go a bit deeper on these issues?
I particularly don't understand the "complex front-end" part. What about django's templating system hinders implementing a rich javascript based UI?
I've been quite happy using the templating system to deliver data to the front end and then using whatever js libs / frameworks I've needed to display the data to the user....
