What about performance and scalability? Doesn't python (with psyco and soon, unladen swallow) win big here? When you choose a platform, it's important to choose one that won't limit you when you start having users on a large scale...
- carbon8 17y agoUnless something changed, django doesn't even run on psyco cleanly and the combo is unsuitable for production. Unladen swallow also isn't ready for use in production with django and it's unclear when it will be. But performance from these languages aren't the bottlenecks in web apps, and Ruby 1.9 and Python 3 have similar performance, anyway.
- mccutchen 17y ago> Ruby 1.9 and Python 3 have similar performance, anyway. That's immaterial in this debate, isn't it? Django doesn't run on Python 3, and Python 3 is still slower than Python 2 (though they're starting to focus on performance improvements in Python 3 with every new release).
- alex_c 17y agoScribd might have a thing or two to say about that.
