Agreed! The changes to transaction management seem pretty solid too. I've found transactions to be pretty somewhat unpredictable at times in the past, so I'm encouraged by these changes.

#4I really enjoy working with Django, but in many ways, it seems to be staying pretty vanilla while other technologies head in more experimental directions. Does Django have a bright future in a world that's moving heavily client side, or will it be relegated to a relatively bland corner of the web world?

We've got a more complex application (Pathwright) running Django, and we're currently going much more heavy client side. Nothing about Django keeps you from doing this, and there are some excellent third party apps that actually make it very easy (django-rest-framework is awesome).

This is one of those questions seeking controversy where there is none. Django seems to get out of the way even more when you shift to a heavier client.

We're really looking forward to this. We'll still use pgbouncer, but we think we may see a slight boost.

I personally hope django (and rails) keep their focus on the "bland corner of the web." The vast majority of (useful) sites out there are dead dull from a technology perspective, and I'd like tools that help me develop & deploy those types of sites as quickly as possible.

he's probably referring to the ever-recurring topic of django not integrating front-end libs out of the box (which I in particular support).
