Every one of the three points you made in your comment has been disapproved by Django.

It's a framework that does (or at least tries) to do everything (or as much as possible), and it's good. Really, really good.

I'm in the process of upgrading an app of mine after months of abandonment, and the process is so smooth it's boring.

Also, Django's ORM is the closest thing to a perfect tool. Sure, it has some dark corners here and there, but Django's ORM has considerably improved my quality of life as a programmer. Heck, I even moved from SQLite to PostgreSQL in an old project, and all I needed to do is to change a couple of config code.

Oh, and Django is both stable and enjoys a constant pace of updates adding useful features practically at every major version.

Agreed, and what you mention here are the main reasons Cot has been strongly inspired by Django. Whether we'll achieve the same level of stability and ORM ease-of-use for the Rust-preferring community, only time will tell.

Yeah. I can’t believe the alternatives that people try to glue together compared to Django.

Honestly Django has the best db migrations I have used from any language or library.

When I start a project, even if I am going to access the db from raw sql I start by modeling it in Django just because the rapid changes in data modeling allow me to not even think about it. I just have to think about what I want it to be and not about the changes to get there. Other ORMs or no ORM I am writing alter tables instead of focusing on the data model itself.
