"""Anyway, when it comes to Twisted vs. Tornado for a Python web framework, I use Django. Why? Because it works, and my time is valuable."""
Who is the idiot here? I don't think the author understands the real power of async frameworks.
You can't use Django for anything that requires a massive amount of longer running connections. This is an area where frameworks like Twisted or Tornado shine. Comparing the two is silly.
- mgrouchy 17y agoI can't read this article because teddziuba.com is blocked at work for some weird reason. Probably the same reason why uncov got blocked awhile back. Without reading the article I can tell you I probably wouldn't say that the author is an idiot. However, I would probably say he is an opinionated asshole. Inflammatory titles are just used to get people to read his stuff.
- davidw 17y agoBasically, if Ted writes something, you can bet that he's calling someone an idiot or worse. It's boring after a while.
- mgrouchy 17y agoI thought It was funny with uncov while Pressflip was in development and was trashing everyone elses startup. Less funny on El'Reg after leaving PressFlip(which appears to not be doing so great)
- tdavis 17y agoIt started off by making fun of people who post things on blogs... in a blog post. I stopped reading after that.
- enobrev 17y agoWhile finding Ted's writing to be entertaining is a matter of taste, his point stands. To paraphrase: Twisted, while not being the nicest code in the world, works well. Tornado tries to do the same and may be marginally better. That time may have been better spent getting more visitors.
- apgwoz 17y ago> That time may have been better spent getting more visitors. Really? They did in fact just sell off to facebook, which has way more users than Twitter. Result: NET WIN. edit: Not attacking your comment, as you were just paraphrasing. Just seemed like an obvious place to point out the obvious flaw in that.
- natrius 17y agoNot every sale is an indicator of success. Even if it were, more visitors would've made the company more valuable.
