The whole thing is ridiculous. I found this pearl on their site: > "Recently we began the process of converting a huge RoR App that consists of 285,000 lines of Ruby code using less than 10,000 lines of Django code." Here is another one: > "Django requires far less code than Ruby on Rails because..." > "Django does not reqire MVC (Model, View, Controller), therefore Django Apps require far less code" Another one, the last I'll post, I promise: > "We focus on recoding the Ruby functionality using Python code; this process takes place very quickly once it begins." Can you say snake-oil salesman? BTW, Rails and Ruby on Rails have been trademarked to prevent people from pulling stunts like this. Edit: Django is trademarked as well, so this should be easy to resolve. Also, Reddit did some research about the guy behind this operation (http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/7qoue/django_20/ http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/7qoue/django_20...). The results aren't pretty.

      Self-aware, actually.

  The best line on their site is definitely “The Ruby-Python-Bridge™ allows you to interface your Ruby and Ruby on Rails Apps directly to Python via TCP/IP.” What the hell does that even mean?

    haha incredible - the truth wrapped in a lie. I believe they have implemented that macluhan-inspired concept of a "hyper" link which is allowing them to bridge the cyber-sphere via tcp/ip! Great work gentlemen.

    Why its the same thing as "coalescing business paradigms via synergy" but with teh interwebs. That or using peanut butter on a duck. I'm not sure.

I like that they're saying '"Ruby on Rails to Django", "RoR to Django". . .are trademarks of Vyper Logix Corp'. I don't think you can use trademarked words like Django and Ruby on Rails in your trademark without violating the trademark of Django and RoR. This is just ridiculous and I really hope that DHH (holder of the Rails and Ruby on Rails trademarks) and the Django Software Foundation (holder of the Django trademark) sue them into oblivion.

This has to be a troll. No one can be this out of touch with reality.
