Do you not use anything from the GNU project because of their politics?
What politics do they enforce on me by using their products?
Nice. Anyone building fun stuff using Django these days?
The WorkFlowy ( https://www.workflowy.com ) backend runs on Django. We are on Django 2.1 and planning to upgrade to 2.2 now that it has been released. One new feature I’m excited about is bulk_update: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/models/querysets/#...

Django is still by far the best web framework as far as I can tell. Every couple years I check what's out there for GoLang, Rust, Nodejs, and Swift, and it seems like it will be a decade or more before anything else comes even close. Even though a lot of people don't like Django's ORM, at least it does almost everything you would want to do with Postgres. (And if you want more you can always use SqlAlchemy.) Most of…
IMO PHP's Laravel is competitive with Django. I think Django, Laravel, and Rails are really the only 3 frameworks with the levels of ecosystem and built in functionality that these 3 have (unless there's something in Java-land that I'm not aware of). ASP.NET Core is close, but the ecosystem around it is weaker.

I think you are missing the elephant in the room: Ruby on Rails.
I don't need to learn a new language I won't use for anything else, I don't need to learn a framework that is not as simple as its proponents describe. I also don't need to learn a new package manager or go digging for gems that do what I need.
If you aren't already invested in ruby, there is very little to gain as a web app developer. It would be a huge waste of time to drop django or flask and learn not only a new framework but also a language that is often described as cumbersome to use.
Ruby on rails might make sense if you already know it, but it makes little sense for anyone else to learn it these days.
Django/Jupyter/pandas is an ecosystem that's hard to beat. If you're not already using it, check out `django-extensions`. You can use `./manage.py shell_plus --notebook` to launch a Django-friendly Jupyter notebook. From there you can prototype with extreme ease and confidence. I have also built a trivial custom model Manager so I can do stuff like: User.objects.all().to_dataframe("first_name", "last_name", "email")…
You just discovered repl driven development that lisp users have been advocating for years. Check it out in Clojure: https://vvvvalvalval.github.io/posts/what-makes-a-good-repl....

Why do you feel the need to attack him? It's not as if he has attacked you personally.
i don't understand the bipolar nature of hn. "don't be afraid to be intellectually honest and say what needs to be said - we're not afraid of hurting people's feelings for the greater good and we're proud of it" and at the same time "be careful you don't say anything that could in the slightest be misinterpreted as impugning someone's character" i feel like i'm taking crazy pills? this is exactly the kind of thing th…
