I wonder why Django doesn't have the same strength (both technically and community) as Rails ? I think the philosophy "Everything is an object" makes sense actually, and in combination with functional programming built-in really makes Ruby is perfect choice for non-professional programmer (even woman) to love coding.



> perfect choice for non-professional programmer (even woman)

It's 2013. Could we please leave 'so easy even a woman could use it' levels of sexism behind us?

(Not to mention - it's a little silly to single out web frameworks as the One True comparator of two languages. That Rails is more popular than Django does not necessarily imply that Ruby is a better language than Python, any more than the fact that SciPy is more popular than SciRuby implies the reverse).


Rails is in downward trending, where Django is steady and slowly increasing over the years: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=Ruby%20Rails%2C%20Pyt...


I may be wrong, but I think Rails has a way higher percentage of total Ruby use than Django does of total Python use.


I don't come to HN to see blatantly obvious sexism. I come to HN to avoid it. Please stop.
