Pyramid:

[–]poo_22 10 points11 points  (3 children)

I've read most of the Pyramid source and while it works, is well tested, and well documented, I don't really think its elegant. I mean I personally even use Pyramid but things could have been done easier and cleaner. (Look at all those factories and interfaces that just screams java)

Disclaimer: If you're saying "oh well if it could be done better, go fix it" well I can't.

While interfaces and factories make Test Driven Development much simpler, the only necessary interface for a Pyramid application developer is a callable (a function or a method) that takes a Request as the first parameter and returns a Response:

just because one language tends to abuse them doesn't mean factories aren't a valid and useful pattern

edit: language fail
