As for Boo and Groovy, I do hope they work out because I would like nothing more than to see dynamic languages take over the mainstream VMs but I’ve seen little to suggest that they provide the level of quality, performance, or community backing of the C based interpreters.

IronPython is faster than CPython, and CPython compatible... what more do you want?... Python under .NET is faster than CPython.

If the Pythonic bit is of interest without the Python lib, then Boo fits the bill very well.

If performance and quality are still of concern to you, then I'd respectfully suggest you might need to update your view of the current state of art past the benchmark Active State set quite some time ago.

Subway / Django: The most important reason why Django gets attention and Subway doesn’t is the docs. Django’s isn’t finished but already very usable, Subway’s is just an empty wiki - true to Python web framework tradition.

[...] As a side note, I had planned to do a series around this but I promised Adrian and Jacob I’d hold off until Django was launched-launched, which I assumed meant 1.0 at the time but that seems a ways off now… I’m not sure Django can get any more launched at this point so I might have to revisit that promise as I’m anxious to get moving on this.

You’re right, Ryan, there’s no way that was the effbot. Nothing like terse enough. ;-)

I really never saw the point in Groovey. What does it promise to deliver that Jython doesn’t already give you?

More FUD about .NET and Mono from Fredrik Lundh, who makes money from python software.

Doug: while I can't be sure, I don't think that was Fredrik Lundh. My understanding of Lundh's general development philosophy is that he's decidedly anti-framework, and there are a whole lot of other Fredriks in the world besides.

Yes, MonoRail (for .NET & Mono) and Trails (for Java and the Java VM) are nowhere near as easy to use as Ruby on Rails or Django. But they are the only options, and there is hope to making them much much easier to use than even Django by combining them with new languages for .NET and JVM that have a lot more flexibility than java or C#, such as groovy (http://groovy.codehaus.org/) and boo (http://boo.codehaus.org/) for .NET/Mono and IronPython (now owned by Microsoft).

Jeff Shell:

Something you need to note, is that while subway is an attempt to copy Rails, Django is not. In fact, I believe Django pre-dates Rails.

The reason Django is getting more attention than Subway right now (apart from the new-ness factor) is simple: Django, like Rails, was extracted from existing applications. It’s tried and tested - a bunch of reasonably high traffic sites have been running Django for nearly two years. I haven’t year heard of any “real” sites running Subway - they started with the framework.
