Reply to comment by DissidentRage in Raddle codebase by surreal

Venvs were created so you can have different versions of packages and it's dependencies and it has nothing to do with the py2-3 difference.

I have worked a lot with Django and if you think it's shit then it's a matter of opinion cause reality proves it works very well for all kind of systems.

I agree with "the web/database is just an IO device", i meant that MVC frameworks are not built with that in mind. Separation of concerns is not just being able to drop MySQL for MariaDB (which is an exact clone..) and Postgres which is almost the same. What about NoSQL or you know just plain CSV files because why the fuck no? And what about the UI? how do you turn a webapp into a desktop app with GUI? Node.js? nah.. Most MVC frameworks are not modular in these regards. Btw Symfony uses comments as an API to the ORM which is something you will never see in a Python framework and it's disturbing.

What if Postmill never gets another commit, would you expect raddle to die as well? The userbase is raddle and feature requests go in vein. The architecture is already there to clone, this is not something only the elite devs can do, this should be for the community, wasn't it this way all along? It's better to have the most contributors you can get so the community is safer from those elite software architects.
