From a business perspective, chipping into a Django kickstarter headed up by someone like Tom is an investment with an incredibly high chance to return something valuable. In this case, Tom exceeded expectations with an excellent 3.0 rele

That may be a little overly dramatic. There have been failed fragments/forks/derivatives, but there have also been some sweeping successes. It's too early to foretell the fate of Rocket. Containers are getting lots of attenti
