- I love how Django just keeps slowly improving at every release. 6.0 is especially cool, including lots of really useful new features. Who said dependable tech was dull - this is the way is should be done. Well done all who contribute.
- Any code or blog written by Adam is worth spending some time on.
It will be interesting to see how the tasks framework develops and expands. I am sad to see the great Django-Q2 lumped in with the awful Celery though.
- I've been using Django on and off at work for the past few years. I really like it. That being said, I still find its ORM difficult. I understand it now that since it's an opinionated framework, I need to follow Django way of thinking. The main issue is that at work, I have multiple databases from different business units. So I constantly have to figure out a way to deal with multiple databases and their idiosyncrasies. I ended up doing a lot of hand holding by turning off managed, inspectdb and then manually delete tables I don't want to show via website or other reasons. For green webapps we have, django is as good as it gets.

- Template partials look good, which is one of the key reasons frameworks like React are as good and popular as they are, because you can reuse small segments of code.
- I’m very much an Odoo guy who has dabbled with Django (and notably, celery in the past) but as someone who makes huge use of the Odoo OCA queue module[0], I never understood why Django never made use of the Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY to offload tasks. Maybe this is my misunderstanding as I’m pretty green with the Django ecosystem as a whole.

- Template Partials and HTMX seems like the Django equivalent of View Components and Stimulus for Rails, which is nice.
Also, good to see first class support for Tasks, among a lot of other niceties!

- I have been using Django on and off for the last 5-6 years, and it does have the advantage of having batteries loaded but it just feel heavy overall

- I find templates atrocious to use for component fragments like this, that's why I wrote a Python component library when I started using Django with HTMX. Order of magnitude more pleasant to use, works with _every_ Python web framework not just Django: https://compone.kissgyorgy.me/

- Dude, I used Django at 1.x - before they even had an ORM. The fact that it is adding a way to run tasks, almost a quarter of a century later, is wild to me.
I am not roasting it or anything, go Django, but just an observation.
- Given that Python tends to produce fewer hallucinations when generated by LLMs I wonder if former Django developers using AI tools are secretly having a blast right now.
