For a project, I've had to look into Python and Django.
After one evening installing and walking through the tutorial, I got the gist of it.
There was a distinct feel: this thing provides out of the box facilities to make basic DB backed applications and neat APIs.
We miss that with Seaside. That's killing us for early adopter traction.
We need scaffholding facilities and database connectivity if we want to compete there.
If we want to escape the best kept secret trap that is.
We may be too smart for our own good.
I am not advocating dumbing down what we do but we need to provide easier entry into the system.
Talk is cheap, I know. Maybe could we put this on the table during Pharo Days at the consortium roundtable.
