> That's quite a statement. Go on, for most of the other languages, show me a web framework that's better than Django. I think that’s subjective, so take this with a grain of salt. I do have a different opinion though. Also, my point isn’t to argue, but to encourage consideration. I’ve used Django and Python quite extensively in the past and I would say that, for me, Phoenix/Elixir and Ruby on Rails are both better web frameworks than Django. The reason I feel this way is that Phoenix/Elixir, for example, has much better dependency management and tooling than Python/Django (e.g., Mix is vastly superior to Pip, in my opinion). Also, when I was using Django in the past, even the core team suggested using a different directory layout than is generated by default. This meant that every Django application I worked on had a completely different project layout. Both Phoenix and Rails are more opinionated regarding their project layouts. Some may consider this bad, but the benefit is I can go to any Phoenix or Rails project and instantly be productive because I know where all my controllers, models, views, templates, and contexts are going to be. I also like that Phoenix is much faster, more scalable, and makes better use of hardware resources than either Python or Ruby. I think Python and Django are excellent, but I’d place them at #3 in my top-three list of web frameworks. That’s just my opinion though. |
What I took issue with was the suggestion that "most other languages" have a better web framework. I'd wager most other languages don't even have a web framework. And even amongst those that do, there's some real dirt out there, and much worse examples of packaging, tooling, etc. Two Python frameworks, Django and FastAPI would be in my as-objective-as-possible top 10.
It was a silly thing to say.
