Isn’t Django a Python framework? And a little typo: Mollom, not Mollum! ;-)
Other than that: Great job again, guys. Really YARV!
My name is pronounced some other way, but thanks for the reference anyway ;-)
Thanks for the reference!
I was surprised you pronounced my name correctly :)
I know Django is the comedy option python framework, but I like it almost as much as Rails. Rails really shines for building whole “web applications” with lots of forms and user-focused interactivity, but Django is fantastic for regular websites with just some dynamic data on the backend.
Merb is great. I really enjoy using it. Ported my Rails app to Merb. I still like Rails, but Merb just feels slicker, more lightweight, and more modular.
Mollom looks interesting.
Can Mollum filter out some of your jokes?
Thanks for calling out live validation – that’s one amazing library. You guys do a great job surveying what’s going on and highlighting neat stuff to check out and think about. Thanks!
