Adrian notes that Django, as a publicly available open source project, is two years old today. He points out several of the differences in Django between then and now, showing just how far we’ve come. But, as he notes, it’s even more amazing — even with all the changes — that the basic design of the framework has remained the same.
I continually amazed at how often I see references to Django being “new” in blog posts and articles. Django is not new. Django has not only been publicly available for two full years, but has been in use on production sites with relatively high traffic for at least a year (maybe more?) before that. Django may only recently be getting a lot of attention within the wider web development community, but it’s been around and the Python community has been well-aware of it for at least three years now.
