Jacob Kaplan-Moss, one of the BDFL’s for Django has published the text<\/a> and slides<\/a> for his upcoming talk(s) “Snakes on the Web” at PyCon Argentina and PyCon Brazil. Jacob says that he’s trying to answer three questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What sucks, now, about web development?<\/li>\n
  2. How will we fix it?<\/li>\n
  3. Can we fix it with Python?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There’s some good stuff in here, and it’s definitely a worthwhile read.<\/p>\n

    Jacob is in South America, which means he won’t be at DjangoCon<\/a> next week. I was disappointed about that before I saw his talk, and I’m even more disappointed now. I’ll be giving the last keynote at DjangoCon, and I’ll be discussing some thoughts and ideas for where Django (and other web frameworks) might go next. It would have been a great opportunity to carry on the conversation in person. I guess we’ll be doing by blog instead.<\/p>\n

    One of the topics that Jacob covered in his talk was concurrency, and he pointed to my OSCON talk on concurrency<\/a> constructs as something that has influenced his thinking. I do think that he got the wrong idea from my conclusion. At the moment I don’t see a clear solution for concurrency, but I don’t believe that the situation is hopeless, either. I think that we are looking at a period where we have a lot of experimentation, and I think that’s a good thing. It is way premature to say that we have a solution, and I’d rather people keep experimenting.<\/p>\n

    I have some more thoughts on some of Jacob’s points, but those are in the keynote, so I’ll save those until after I’ve actually given the presentation at DjangoCon on Thursday. I suspect that the other keynote speakers, Avi Bryant, and Ian Bicking to have some thoughts in this general direction as well.    I think it would be great to have an open space on these topics sometime on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
