Django vs. FastAPI, An Honest Comparison

Link: Django vs. FastAPI, An Honest Comparison: "After many years of working with Django, I decided to take a closer and more serious look at FastAPI. Extensively using both frameworks has helped me understand their actual strengths and weaknesses with greater accuracy. More and more, I find it challenging to form a relevant opinion on tools I've never used. Reading documentation or blog posts like this one is not enough, as some things simply don't "click" in your mind until you experience them firsthand."

Linked is a very useful article comparing FastAPI with Django. I’ve been a long-time Ruby on Rails developer, having developed a lot of expertise using that framework and genuinely loving it. However, for very practical reasons, I recently switched to Python. This article is highly instructive in explaining the pros and cons of Django versus FastAPI. But it leads me to an unexpected conclusion: neither Django nor fast API can truly fulfill my needs as much as Rails. Consequently, I’ve decided to stick to Ruby on Rails, even though I’ve switched to Python as my primary programming language!

When to use “raise from None” in Python

Link: When to use “raise from None” in Python: "Learn when and why to use Python's 'raise ... from None' to simplify stacktraces by hiding redundant exception context. Improve debugging clarity by focusing on the actual issue."

Linked is a good article about raising exceptions in python. For me it also showed me some interesting “advanced” (or is it idiomatic) python.

Link: ghostty-org/ghostty: 👻 Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration.: "👻 Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration. - ghostty-org/ghostty"

Linked is a new terminal emulator. What interests me is that it is said to be embeddable because it is distributed also as a library with well defined apis.

RightTyper/RightTyper: A fast and efficient type assistant for Python, including tensor shape inference

Link: RightTyper/RightTyper: A fast and efficient type assistant for Python, including tensor shape inference: "A fast and efficient type assistant for Python, including tensor shape inference - RightTyper/RightTyper"

Linked is Python RIghtTyper which sounds great... if it works. It will analyze the type hints in your python (if any) and offers to gerentate them for you. Something like that. Many ways in which that might not go right but I read a very positive overview of it!
