Hello, I'm building a web application with Django. The reasons I chose Django were: I wanted to work with free/open-source tools I like Python and feel it's a "long term" language, whereas regarding Ruby I wasn't sure, and PHP seemed like a huge hassle to learn. I'm building a prototype for an idea and wasn't thinking too much about t...
