Looking at reason 1 to 10 aka all of them, you could replace Python/Django with literally every MVC full-stack framework in any language. 1) Ruby/Rails 2) PHP/Laravel 3) TS/NestJS 4) JS/NestJS/Sails/AdonisJS 5) C#/DotNet/NetCore 6) Java/Spring All of them would get a check mark on your list.

[@mahmudsajib8648]

Why you should use the frameworks @Michael listed: 1. Ruby/Rails - Use if you think your future is secured with a dead language.. 2. Php/Laravel - Use if you care less about security & application scalability. 3+4. TS/JS - Use if you want to get lost into a shitty codebase. 5+6. C#/Java - Use if you want to write 4x more code & waste 4x more time.

[@webdevmichael5476]

​ Mahmud Sajib Haha if that is your experience with that frameworks okay. I did not know that python devs are such fanboys xD and if you use python then you can not forget to indent your code and you don't care about performance at all? 1. Yeah ruby is dead i hear that for 15 years now... 2. PHP is as secure as the developer 3+4.The shity codebase argument has nothing to do with the language. Again the developer who writes the code is the problem 5+6. Sounds like you never worked in big teams on enterprise projects.

How do you think Django compares to Ruby on Rails? They seem practically identical.

[@realchrishawkes]

They are similar. Django was made in Ruby's image originally. At least in the sense, of Python's version of what Rails brought to Ruby.

Chris, please make a video about asynchronous programming with Django. I was getting into this right before the coronavirus and restrictions hit the US hard and some other things took priority, but I'm trying to get focused back on coding again. Also, I can't make a url out of an article slug to save my life. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.. but that might be too much of a specific personal problem for you to address in a video. Anyway, it always gives me a 404 error whenever I try to go to the CreateView page. I think it might be because the get_absolute_url method is trying to reference an object (the slug) that has yet to exist since it is based on the article title which has yet to be written, but I honestly don't have a clue. It works if I write the article on the admin page instead, but that is not a viable solution for a blog-style website. Must work with the CreateView page. Anyway...

[@sciencecompliance235]

Joshua Stevenson Thanks, so it does look like it's a matter of the view trying to reference a slug that doesn't exist. Thanks for the tip.

BCMspeed6 It does. Go on the Django website and see which websites use it. Instagram, Pinterest, The Onion, and more use Django. It's not as widespread as others, but it's out there.

[@davidkim2016]

depends what the product is. in general, python as a language is safe and easy, but lacks in performance. hence, it doesn't see the light of day when compared to systems languages like Rust and C++. for the web, JS ecosystem rules. that being said, python is often used for startups for relatively quick development, esp with tools like django and flask. i like python for parsing, logging, and network stuff.

[@llamasarus1]

It's more popular with startups than enterprise level corporations. ASP.NET has marginally better speed and performance with that kind of stuff. C# vs. Python, C# ( is a faster language being compiled. And Microsoft is loading millions of dollars into having their stack using for corporations where Django has no centralized authority to do such a thing. Those are the reasons I've heard at least and there are probably more.

[@arsenalacid]

There is defintely less jobs for django, in the UK for sure

[@PandemicGameplay]

I'm surprised Django didn't catch on as much as NodeJS or

[@sbrugby1]

Django has no (major) corporate sponsorship, doesn't perform well and doesn't scale well. You can create things quickly but it's an aging framework where most middleware hasn't been updated since v2.2 . JS on the on the hand has insane amounts of corporate money pumped into it and great performance/scaling with the nodejs/chrome V8 engine.

[@sociocritical]

Also NodeJS has much better frameworks nowadays like NestJS for building reliable, flexible, testable and scalable applications and JavaScript/TypeScript has become a lot more powerful. If you think NodeJS with Vanilla Express is the end of the line you havent really looked into it the past years.

[@mr_don_key]

it's a nice framework, but also very boxed in (dev freedom is not as free as you sometimes want: do it the django way, or you are fighting the framework more than you want.... )

[@JonnyBeoulve]

Good video quality as always but I can't recommend Django. I used it for 1 year 2 months working on a production HIPPA compliant medical application. It's dated technology. While you can extend it to use REST and then toss in the front end of your choice and skip the template system, if you're going to do that then just use Flask. Flask is easier to reason with. But really, the smart choice is to learn Node. Having React and Node expertise is currently top tier.

[@llamasarus1]

How is it dated?

[@JonnyBeoulve]

@@llamasarus1 It's templating system was before the "big bang" of front end frameworks, so using it I'm monolithic mode is a poor investment. In terms of Django REST, library support was never particularly good and the platform is no longer seeing fast paced development and growth. When you build out a back end for a system you want something that will last as long as possible, and for that even Ruby on Rails is better since it saw far more iteration and adoption.

[@rejiark2500]

Outdated ? Haha Drf is blessing...try to make REST api with node ..its a mess

[@llamasarus1]

@@JonnyBeoulve as an amateur web dev who has made websites in python lve found Django to be a breath of fresh air compared to flask and especially PHP. I guess I don't know what I'm missing with other frameworks out there. I'll move on to ASP.NET eventually.

A popup notification warning at the bottom left hand corner of the status bar stating "Select Python Interpreter".

[@drkarmakid]

5 reasons you should NOT use Django: 1) Django/SQL doesn't let you "subscribe" to database changes i.e., you cannot build a modern site where the UI changes in real-time as the database changes. 2) Template inheritance is now considered to be somewhat of an anti-pattern. The big 3 front end frameworks (Angular/React/VueJS) use components. 3) Angular/React/VueJS have sucked the air out of the room with respect to front end development. As a result, many front end Django projects have effectively died and will break on recent versions of Django. 4) Some would say you should use Django Rest Framework (DRF) for the backend and Angular/React/VueJS for the front end. Wrong. This achieves very little because DRF doesn't offer any mechanism to let Javascribe subscribe to database changes. (I think this is actually a SQL limitation, but I could be wrong.) 5) Django admin rules! Yes, it's a really nice declarative way of building CRUD apps in a super short period of time. Unfortunately, the UI hasn't been updated in many years and doesn't look very modern. And because of #3, third party "skin" libraries are either old or not well tested. (For example, I was using django-material-admin and discovered that it's totally unusable on IE 11.) Conclusion: If you want to become a professional web app developer, then learn Vue.JS (or React) with a Firebase or AWS Amplify backend. That's the way to build professional apps in 2020. If you use Python in your day job and don't intend to build web apps for a living, then Django is a great choice. Note that transitioning from Django to React/Firebase is NOT a small learning curve. The workflow and tools are quite different: DjangoORM vs graphql/NoSQL, async vs sync, templates vs components, serverless vs server-based, native HTML tags vs component library tags, Python vs Javascript............

[@robin196]

Modern Web Dev with different framework is a mess. At the end of the day you want your ideas to be in the market, you dont want to learn complex things for simple UI. I understand that its a world of API's and trying to serve different type of agents is a huge pain in the butt. This complexity is killing many innovations and ideas.

[@drkarmakid]

@@robin196 I totally agree. I call 2003-2013 the "golden age" of apps because you could build something cutting edge (for its time) with just Rails or Django. But there is no going back for the reasons I outline above.

[@robin196]

@@drkarmakid "subscribe to DB" is there any other framework that allows ?

[@0xPulcra]

I have found elegant web apps can still be written with no framework, minimal ui interaction, following conventions (like delegated event handling), well thought out views, using a browser as it was meant to be (ie staying the hell away from SPAs and allowing anchors to actually navigate). Django still ticks all the boxes here. I will use nodejs to compliment it if I want dedicated services for websocket interaction or handling many small request packets.
