Django vs Rails is like Old Navy vs the GAP.

Lisp web development is haute couture; sure, we might need to travel to the ends of the world to fetch silk, velvet, safron and red dyes, feathers of griffins, and we might need to raise our own albino beavers and translucent-neon chimps to harvest for leather, but the end result is a gallant style fit for a high princely court. (It might also involve a slight invasion of neighboring states to capture their sartorial secrets.)



"Lisp web development is haute couture"

ie, not actually intended for people to use.

Well played!


It's up to you to take the red pill, or take the chill pill ;-)


Old Navy and the Gap are owned by the same company.


Thanks for the info, it only supports my argument for their strong similarity: the vast syntaxful conspiracy is real ..
