Ask HN: Rails or Django?
For the past 5 years I've been a PHP developer. For the past 2 I've been using frameworks to make my life a lot easier. The thing is, I'm a bit bored with PHP. I'd like to expand my horizons and learn a new language + framework. Currently I'm looking at Ruby + Rails and Python + Django. I already know a bit of Python (I write back-end scripts with it), but not enough to have it influence my decision. The criteria I'm looking at are: * Adoption - Are a lot of people using this framework and does it look like it is still gaining followers? * Community - Is there a strong support community around it? Are there good resources for learning? * Jobs - What are the job prospects like for this language + framework? * Scalability - Does the framework scale well? I imagine this is determine by application design too, but lets assume that it's designed well. * Fun - Is it a fun language to code in?
