Where would you say Django finds its niche?
- ativzzz 5y agoIn dev shops where python is needed for other tasks like data science or ML
- fareesh 5y agoYou could just offload ML related tasks to a Celery queue I think
- whakim 5y agoYou can, but Celery has pretty tight integration with Django so it's easy to write a Django app that includes a bunch of Celery tasks if you're going that route. Also, it's not entirely straightforward to run a web app written in another language which runs some of its async tasks via Celery. If you know you want access to the data science ecosystem of libraries Django is a solid choice.
- ativzzz 5y agoI mean that for dev shops that specialize in python, it would make sense to create web apps using Django/Flask to enable easier hiring and transfer of skillsets between projects.
- true_religion 5y agoI think Python has a really nice integration story with C with cffi, cytpes, or Cython. That makes it nice to write the high level stuff in Python, and have it call into the faster language.
