Okay, so I've been an avid Drupaller these past few years, and my startup runs on Drupal 7 with user referrals, membership site, activity stream, (facebook styled) statuses, and (twitter like) micro-blog, and Organic Groups among other modules. All of these modules are absent in D8, so D7.<p>A few months ago, I was introduced to Python, and it simply blew me away. That prompted me to pay attention to Django. Now, all of this D7 stuff above can be found in Django.<p>That's when I chanced across this discussion on Hacker News:<p>https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10888358<p>A post by user 'travjones' starting with 'Scalability' in this referenced thread says Django can only go so far in a production site with good load.<p>So, given that both Drupal and Django will need to 'migrate' to custom code after some incidents of happy virality, does it make sense for me now to 'defect' from Drupal 7 to Django?<p>Or, can Drupal 7 work okay for the initial traction phase, and then maybe things look up, the magic wand waves, and everything including code changes [hopefully for the better!]?
