I've used Falcon extensively for about 3 years while at LeadPages.
I would say the biggest difference between the two is Molten gives you more out of the box: input validation, doc/schema generation, ORM support, support for multipart/form-data requests (Falcon doesn't actually handle these out of the box!), etc.
- hguhghuff 8y agoSo molten is batteries included essentially, whereas falcon is not. Like flask versus Django. Straight question, wouldn’t it have been easier to fork falcon and add the batteries?
- Bogdanp 8y agoProbably not, because many of the differences are fundamental: * Falcon revolves around the concept of Resources, i.e. classes as the primary handlers of requests; molten revolves around functions, * Falcon supports Python 2.x, * automatic dependency injection via type annotations is core to molten.
