Wait... there are people who wrote their own framework... in the year 2009?

Well, 2007, for me. But I built it over web.py, so I upped both.

(Edit: and I've since mostly switched to PHP)

I am interested what the HN group's opinion is on Grok. It sounds interesting, but I'm not advanced enough to make proper comparisons.

Grok's main value, to me, is to interact with larger Zope applications without having to deal with all of the mental overhead that Zope entails.

You can also reap the great benefits of the ZODB very easily with Grok alone. Grok is very easy to learn, and was designed by people that really know what they are doing with regard to Python web app development.

Would someone that up'd Django please outline their plans to scale?

Heresy! j/k. I'm actually curious why you switched from python to php. Was it your choice or forced upon you? If your choice, can you explain? I usually meet people going the other direction.

For anyone who considered Django and discarded it (especially recently since it's been 1.0), could you maybe explain the decision behind that? I'm curious as a relatively recent Django convert.

Django scales just like any other web framework. The plan to scale Django is roughly the same as the plan to scale any app.

Are there any issues in particular you're concerned about?
