You don't see django folks freaking out about how tornado rewrote URL routing and wrote a new template engine (they even take some shots at django's restrictions in templating). There is probably as much overlap with django as there is with twisted, yet all the "controversy" is coming from the twisted people.
What is wrong with choice?
- mcella 17y agoNothing is wrong! As you said there is probably more overlap with django than with twisted, tornado is a full fledged framework that happens to a have (thanks god) a new async web server, and I really like the self contained nature of tornado (and the no twisted dependency), if you do want twisted there are orbited/cometd already! All this situation is getting pretty silly IMHO, opensource is about freedom to choice, they evaluated twisted and decided it was not the right path, everyone should accept this and get along. Before twisted there was async, before django there was zope, before python there was another language, before git there was svn, before svn there was cvs and so on... that's how opensource works, competition is the path to better things and I LOVE THIS!
