Here we go again... Maybe it does suck. You can certainly tell it was not designed by computer scientists. In many ways, it throws away years for programming language best practices. This being said, what are the practical alternatives? JSP? Servlets? ASP? Python/Django? Ruby/Rails? What? I am sorry but JSP, Servlets, ASP, Python/Django, Ruby/Rails are just shit of a different kind. But they do not deserve that holier-than-thou aura. I suggest bad programmers keep blaming their tools for their own shortcomings. I suggest that when bad programmers have produced enough horrors to sully a tool, they blame the tool and move on to the next tool.

Python's Flask is a good, lightweight web framework that works fine. It was a breath of fresh air compared to PHP, and I can understand it, unlike Django.

  I am open minded. I will give Flask a try. I doubt it'll be easier to deploy than a LAMP server, though. I already recoil at the idea of having to figure out why Passenger is not working as it should, or why I should run a terrible HTTP front just to try this out.

    It's a little bit more difficult (especially since if you want to use Apache you'd have to configure it manually), however there are plenty of Python WSGI hosts out there that should make it simpler.
