A bit of Django history

[Jeremy Dunck]

I was searching around for a different old blog post and found this one:
http://jacobian.org/writing/why-django/

It made me smile - we've come a ways since then. :)

Thanks for sharing that.

This part especially made me giggle in light of the current flamewar over Django's templating speed:

I've seen benchmarks that peg Django’s template language at four times faster than Kid and six times as fast as Cheetah. In fact, it’s SO fast that we’ve found that caching compiled templates is actually slower than re-rendering them on every request.

 Also, Django may have come a long way, but boy am I glad that this is still the truth:

Django’s admin will blow your mind

 There are a lot of other good python frameworks nowadays with lots of nice features, but this is the one that keeps me coming back to Django.

Best,
