Rocket comes with support for templating, cookies, websockets, middleware, an orm, testing, etc. I'm not familiar with Python web development (or why anyone would reach for Python for a webapp in 2024 :P), but it seems pretty analogous to Rails

It's also the oldest/most mature tool out there




"The goal is for functionality like templating, sessions, ORMs, and so on to be implemented entirely outside of Rocket"

So definitely a Flask, not a Django. And I want no Flask.

Because it works damn fine, is complete and stable, has a gigantic ecosystem covering virtually every needs in the field and also we know the ins and outs of it.

Of course, less resource consumption is always good, particularly RAM, hence why we're interested in initiatives like RWF or why I keep an eye on the Go ecosystem.

I'm out of touch.. why not?
