After a month of intensive head down coding, I’m ready to reveal what I’ve really been working on all this time. Today I’m proud to announce that we’re moving Craftsy’s codebase to Python! We’ll be leveraging the innovative and exciting Django framework so that we can take advantage of its rich standard library, powerful ORM, and active open source community.
With Python’s whitespace sensitivity our developers will no longer have to labor over endless brackets and semicolons! Think of all the keystrokes saved! With the Django ORM, our developers can finally get away from knowing anything about SQL and focus on writing creative and clever comprehensions, decorators, and multi-inheritance mixins! With Python’s rich, dynamic monkey patching capabilities our developers can modify behavior at runtime whenever and wherever they want! Now you, too, can participated in heated, sometimes violent discussions about the Python 2 to 3 transition!
To help us make this compelling conversion we’ve identified an extensive pool of candidates that we’ll be reaching out to in the days ahead, including people with fascinating names like Guido, Jacobian, and Jezdez.
I hope that you’re as excited as I am to usher in the new era of Python at Craftsy! Please let me know if you have any questions!
Just to make sure it's absolutely clear - this is an April Fool's joke. 😄
