Python on Rails?


Would it be possible to translate the Ruby on Rails code base to Python?

I think many people like Python more than Ruby, but find Ruby on Rails features better (as a whole) than the ones in Python web frameworks.

So that, would it be possible? Or does Ruby on Rails utilize language-specific features that would be difficult to translate to Python?


Solution

  • This is a great blog post. Rails developers chose a framework, and coding in Ruby is the afterthought.

    Python developers chose the language for the language, not the framework. On the other hand, that made a lot lower bar to entry for frameworks.
