(2005-12-06) Bicking Hansson Python Ruby Django

Ian Bicking and David Heinemeier Hansson on the SnakesAndRubies event that brought Ruby On Rails and Django people together. Meta Programming, Domain Specific Language-s, etc. Hansson has good bits on relative Positioning of different frameworks - I think the Python Web Framework crowd (and every Open Source project) should be thinking about such framing. Bicking explores syntax alternatives and barriers.

I Commented there about whether these object-relations rules are best expressed in the SQL engine.

• semi-related, Martin Fowler just posted about Contextual Validation - "should failing this test prevent saving?"
  • Ian Bicking discusses this in the context of Form Encode.
