Comment on Ask HN: Flask and Extensions or Ruby on Rails for Upcoming Project?

Comments

If you have experience with Python but not with Ruby, Django might be worth a look as a more batteries-included web framework (and maybe quicker to try out if you like that, since less learning is required).

ya, i have considered this but ultimately i have no interest in moving to Django. there are some little python nuances i would enjoy dropping if i were to make a big move out of flask (i.e. not having to __init__ everything and making things harder to read having to put \ at the end of every line if i am in the middle of a function.

plus there was just too many negative things i read about django when deciding on flask in the first place for me to look past it. also, i am not sure how actively django is updated anymore and that is a big thing that i am looking for with my lack of time to keep up on everything is to trust that the developers of whatever framework i pick are committed to keeping me up to date with the latest-and-greatest in web technologies.
