Not to conflate a framework and a language, but there’s something about Django that makes me feel like I’m writing PHP. What is this effect?

Laravel keeps copying Django (I mean it in a good way)

Laravel borrowed much from Rails, Django and others. But unlike them actually moved forward.

Right. I love Python and Django but the "batteries included" claim seems like an anachronism.

Job queues, WebSockets/SSE, setter/modern form rendering, API framework, components, comprehensive CLI, frontend support etc are what the competition have better integrates and/or first party.

Right now that is my biggest pet peeve with Django, in the marketing area is a bit outdated and boring. What was about the Django Unicorn logo?
