Rails vs. Django

While watching the Google TechTalk about Django, I came accross this interesting paper highlighting differences between Rails and Django, which might be interesting to many of us in the field.

For those interested, Django is a powerful, MVC framework for creating web applications using the Python programming language. It is very similar in some respects to Rails, but some consider Django to be better suited for high-traffic websites. I haven’t used Django extensively (nor Python as a matter of fact, besides the typical “Hello World” thingy) so I won’t say anything else but the fact that I prefer Ruby‘s syntax to Python’s.

Of course this is a subjective opinion! In any case, if it’s anything like Rails, it’s worth considering. Definitely. Dynamic languages are the way to go.
