This video really messed with my mind. Took me a few watches to fully understand it.

Rails Envy – Ruby on Rails vs. Django Commercial

Posted on 13 January 2009 View Comments

This is an oldie, but a goodie. I recently saw this posted on Reddit and thought it was funny enough that I would share it here as well. In 2007 at the Lone Star Ruby Conference, the ever hilarious guys over at Rails Envy premiered a commercial they made imitating the Mac vs. PC commercials from Apple. I would try to give some sort of description of the video, but I think it’s better that you just watch it.

Warning! Mega-Nerd Alert!

Although this video is clearly seeming to make fun of Senor DJ Angoooo, Gregg wanted to point out that he thinks Django is actually a great framework for building web applications.

After taking a good look at Django and weighing all the pros/cons, I didn’t really think we should make fun of it. Django is a great framework for building web applications, one that employs many of the same techniques that Ruby on Rails does. If it wasn’t for Rails I’d probably be programming Django right now. Amongst a sea of mediocre web frameworks it’s definitely close to the top.
