Not nearly as productive. That's why django is definitely a better choice for rapid prototyping. But if I'm working on a larger project that I'm hoping to maintain for years, up-front productivity usually takes a back seat

I think you could probably abstract away some of the differences between djangoORM and SQLalchemy. Maybe something like a model class that uses sqlchemy for the underlying orm interactions. Not that i really blame them for using their limi

I've never been able to find a good use case for pypy. Why would you ever want to run CPU bound tasks in python? I'm sure there are arguments about the huge ecosystem, not having to rewrite code in another language, etc. But m
