This is why theres people who say you shouldnt use an orm at all. I have to admit intially i liked the django orm however after a while i found that i prefered or wanted to make the called directly myself. There was just oo much mystery g

Again i will disagree with you on that. One of the benefits of node and why its becomingly increasingly popular is that it allows ease of development with the benefits of scale built in. So you dont have to worry about a steep learning cu

The problem in part is with hackernews actually. I dont find it very conducive to good discussions. I rarely comment myself actually. Most comments seem to be he said/she said and argumentative. Im actually surpised people dont ask for

Id have to disagree with that myself. While node and mongodb are both "shiny" they are because they solve a problem that people have and offer solutions to problems that are very appealing. Including as i mentioned i blieve in another com

No idea what defers and only are. Actually maybe only was what i was looking for. The django documentation for many things such as this is almost non existent. Some of it is from older versions as well. And im sorry but how is a newbie

Part of this though is because web apps are for better or worse increasingly being almost nothing but javascript. And it becomes tedious moving back and forth between javascript and another language. Even if that language is really good.

Nice how i get voted down. Thus proving my point about the python and django communities. So glad i moved to node. I will still consider using python for backend stuff though.

This is another reason why i moved off of django. This arrogant attitude of belittling other people when they have problems. I expect this from the rails community not from python. However django is increasingly becoming a "its the djang

Theres a couple of issues i had with it personally. It doesnt work that well with nosql. Also i found it difficult to customize or do certain things that i wanted to do. Some of them very basic. For example i wanted to only return indiv

Of course it depends what libraries youre looking or. If youre looking for libraries for build the "basics" of a web app then there are plenty of libraries available. If yore doing other things though and looking for libraries that dont e

After developing a v1.0 of a project with django i ended up also moving to node.js as well as mongodb as opposed to postgresql. I found myself increasingly wrestling with django. I really like python and the django community and think dja

I dont know about projects on github, but im involved in a couple of projects that are looking for developers. One is for a non profit. And one is for a for profit. They are using cutting edge technologies such as django and node and mon

I used ubuntu for 5 years or so and finally moved off of it almost 2 years ago. I was a huge linux fan until i used ubuntu. Which intially was great but soon became nothing but marketing hype with one buggy broken release after another.

I had a similiar experience myself actually. You should actually check out the R language if youre interested in scientific computing. Speaking of the python communittee i watched many videos from djangocon this year and was really impres

Postgis is far from perfect and in actuality is more geared towards geographical survey types of applications then location based. They used cassandra at least for some of their architecture which personally i think was the right way to go

I was just looking into the geolocation issue myself recently. Looked at simplegeo but decided against it. The question really is what is your app going to do. The difficulty really with geolocation these days isnt the lack of data point

Ive been working with python/django for about 6 months now so i wouldnt call myself an expert but i understand where youre coming from and im willing to help you out. How best to contact you?

In a basic application yes this is true. But if you have a large cluster and data is spread out it becomes more difficult not to mention time consuming to run that query. With redis and other nosql solutions they are designed with this in

I didnt know that the issues in Mongo were fixed. I figured they would be eventually though.

Are there any hidden reasons you could think of not to?

I guess what im wondering is more about the scalability of it. I know that Mongodb could essentially be used as the only datastore however it apparently has some issues currently with scalability.

Ask HN: Is it feasible to use redis as the only datastore?

This is a good point. My thoughts have been that if the product uses cutting edge technologies people might be more open to doing the work or helping out for a lesser charge. Hence why i use django as well as redis and mongodb and android
