Comments on: Rails 3: Django with a funny syntax http://www.elfsternberg.com/2010/02/03/rails-3-django-funny-syntax/ Done, and gets things smart. Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:39:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Teilo http://www.elfsternberg.com/2010/02/03/rails-3-django-funny-syntax/comment-page-1/#comment-2873 Teilo Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:55:54 +0000 http://www.elfsternberg.com/?p=613#comment-2873 Cross-pollination is good! Despite the many criticisms that Django has received for doing things their own way, it was the right decision. It is likely that had Django adopted some other ORM instead of their own, these elegant ideas would never have filtered into Rails. However, to say that Django has two migration tools isn't really true. I realize that Evolution is still under active development, but it is still less stable than South and has comparatively few users. South is now the defacto standard. There were even discussions between the Django and South teams about turning South into a contrib. The only reason they didn't was so that South would not be tied to the Django release cycle.
