Everyone seems to agree that Flask is great for APIs and Rest. But am I still better off with Django for user apps? I'm attracted to the simplicity and transparency of Flask, but I also want to be efficient, as well as attract open source contributors. It's been difficult to get an objective and practical amswer to this question.
Also troubling is that the creator of Flask seems to want to hand Flask over to someone else, is unhappy with Python 3 to the point he seems to be ditching Python for Rust:

- eugenekolo2 11y agoWhere do you see him "unhappy with Python 3 to the point he seems to be ditching Python"? I only see him saying he can't use Python 3 at work. That's fairly common and frustrating, but it's not unhappiness in Python 3.
- eevilspock 11y agoSorry, I had meant to post this link: http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2013/11/28/emotional-programming/ http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2013/11/28/emotional-programming/ But you're right. He hasn't said he's ditching Python. It was more me reading between the lines. http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2014/10/1/a-fresh-look-at-rust/ http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2014/10/1/a-fresh-look-at-rust/
