Ask HN: Django/Python vs Grails/Groovy?

1 pointsby tapan_panditaover 12 years ago
Hey Guys,<p>We have an initial version of our product ready on Grails. However, before we move forward, we want to make a call between using Django or Grails. The product is basically an API and some templating. The team comprises of people who are comfortable with both frameworks and can easily make the switch from one to the other. Based on the research I've done online, I feel both frameworks are very similar. Groovy is just about as easy to develop in as python and ecosystem-wise Java doesn't have any significant advantage over Python (at least as far as the web is concerned). Also, Grails can do pretty much everything that Django can do (including schema migrations now which people seemed to complain about in some older posts I read). Personally, I am a django guy and haven't developed a lot in Grails (just basic stuff). What would be some compelling arguments to switch to Django over grails or should we stick with grails?

For me it is a language decision and not a framework decision. And I love Python more. Also in general I think languages and frameworks backed by a community instead of single company are better in the long run.

Why did you choose Grails for the initial version of your product? Is that particular reason still applicable? Why are you reconsidering that decision now?<p>Answer those and your question is answered.
