Django and Rails are similar in the sense that they come with batteries included and favor convention over configuration. Also, Django recently received a grant from Mozilla, so expect some great features to be added.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.djangoproject.com&#x2F;weblog&#x2F;2015&#x2F;dec&#x2F;11&#x2F;django-awarded-moss-grant&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.djangoproject.com&#x2F;weblog&#x2F;2015&#x2F;dec&#x2F;11&#x2F;django-awar...</a><p>Personally, I&#x27;ve worked with Django, Rails, and The Spring Framework (Java).<p>I&#x27;d choose Django or Rails. I do prefer Django, but Rails has a much more vibrant eco system and a lot more plugins (gems) that let you do things pretty fast.<p>Really you need to be clear on what problem you are trying to solve, because one framework might be better than the other. For example, I&#x27;ve worked with Rails and it has great support for apache solr. If I needed to do full text search on a lot of records and use solr to index them, I&#x27;d choose Rails.<p>Define the problem you&#x27;re trying to solve, and see which framework is best suited for it.
