Comparison of web frameworks
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007Dear lazyweb,
Has anyone published an in-depth comparison of TurboGears vs. Rails vs. various servlet/JSP frameworks?
Two points that I’m especially curious about are the templating solution offered by each alternative and how easy it is to write extensions for them.
Most of the templating packages I’ve found suck because they really don’t separate the model from the view. JSP is my preferred method for building views so far, as I’m not forced to embed scripting code into the HTML and its easy to define new tags.
As for extensions, a friend and former colleague at IBM tried both Rails and TurboGears and found that writing extensions to Rails was cake compared to the hoops he had to jump through for TG. I’m wondering if this is a common experience or whether his particular situation was an oddity.
