Yep trust was always the issue here really. Don’t blame Jannis at all for being super careful about that.

Yeah I think I would have been considered part of the “in” crowd of Perl to some degree and it wasn’t the culture that drove me away and to Python.

It was Django and the people involved with it.

Yeah after the acquisition I’m sure they moved everything to whatever the parent company was using which totally makes sense.

That would have been hard since both of those projects came out after Django, but just an FYI Jinja2 templates are supported and nothing stops you from using SQLAlchemy. Granted you lose a lot of the tight intergration that makes Django great to use.

If you’re really looking for a tool to collect small steps/script I highly recommend you check out the ‘just’ cli tool. It’s completely replaced our use of Make and the syntax is much easier.

Same, a bit of caching and the REVSYS blog survived being on the front page of Slashdot (back when that was a thing), Reddit and HN all at the same time. No Elon tweet for sure, but caching like Varnish, Cloudflare, Fastly etc go a LONG way.
