Web frameworks
-
These days when I do web dev it's on Django or RoR. But, I wouldn't be heartbroken if they both went away since web dev isn't a primary business focus for us.

Is it still a pain to deploy ROR? I've tried a couple of times and ended up going back to c# because I couldn't get things to work properly.
Assuming you are talking about production, it was until a friend of mine developed mongrel. That was kind of the beginning of a new era in the rails deployment story. As far as automating moving files in and out of production, capistrano is pretty handy.

If ASP.NET suddenly disappeared, what language/tools/platform would you use?
Even if ASP.NET weren't to suddenly disappear, I'd stick with some set of Python libraries on Apache for the server side - I'm used to CherryPy for the HTTP framework, Genshi for HTML templating and SQLAlchemy to interface to databases - and lashings of Javascript using jQuery on the client-side.
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

CherryPy is pretty great stuff. I've also had fun playing with straight web.py.

How about Django?
I like it as web frameworks go. In general web development doesn't really excite me though. Most of the code work I've done for a long while has been in various simulations and some back end server development.

Yeah. We are not super close pals or anything like that; we keep in touch even though at times I need to make a better effort. We went to school together as undergrads and hung out a bit for a while; I think I graduated a about year before he did. I don't claim to know the depths of his soul but I do like the guy a lot and I know that his rants and blow ups are mostly to shake things up. In person he is about the most helpful guy I have ever known.

The earlier question about Ruby on Rails got me to thinking. If ASP.NET suddenly disappeared, what language/tools/platform would you use? Would you go with Django, ROR, or something completely different? Just curious.

Me too

I'd give Wicket a go - it's a Java web framework but don't hold that against it, it looks very interesting.
"When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, `Who is destroying the world?' You are."

I'm already using Ruby on Rails and jQuery for the AJAX and interface magic. I tried Prototype and its ilk, but they didn't "click" the way jQuery did for me. Honestly, I'm about ready to do away with ASP.NET now. I jumped ship from PHP about seven years ago when ASP.NET was first released. Now that the Microsoft ecosystem has become so unnecessarily bloated and complex, RoR looks and feels like a much better choice. Plus, it gives me an excuse to do most of my dev. work on a Mac. :)
