<p>separated as per design decisions page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Chris Webber on &quot;Why Python&quot;:==<br /> <br /> Because I know Python, love Python, am capable of actually making<br /> this thing happen in Python (I&#039;ve worked on a lot of large free<br /> software web applications before in Python, including [http://mirocommunity.org/ Miro Community] the [http://miroguide.org/ Miro Guide] a large portion of [http://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons] and a whole bunch of things while working at [http://www.imagescape.com/ Imaginary Landscape]). Me starting a project like this makes sense if it&#039;s<br /> done in Python.<br /> ==Why not...==<br /> You might say that PHP is way more deployable, that Rails has way<br /> more cool developers riding around on fixie bikes---and all of<br /> those things are true. But I know Python, like Python, and think<br /> that Python is pretty great. I do think that deployment in Python<br /> is not as good as with PHP, but I think the days of shared hosting<br /> are (thankfully) coming to an end, and will probably be replaced<br /> by cheap virtual machines spun up on the fly for people who want<br /> that sort of stuff, and Python will be a huge part of that future,<br /> maybe even more than PHP will. The deployment tools are getting<br /> better. Maybe we can use something like Silver Lining. Maybe we<br /> can just distribute as .debs or .rpms. We&#039;ll figure it<br /> out when we get there.<br /> <br /> Regardless, if I&#039;m starting this project, which I am, it&#039;s gonna<br /> be in Python.<br /> <br /> [[Category:DesignDecisions]]</div>
