Re: Django vs. Ruby on Rails

> 3) Using one or the other for Geographic Information Systems work;

I work at NASA/JPL and have been using Python for 1 year, and have
been working in GIS for 3 years. GIS is built around 2 core
languages, Java for back-end servers and largely due to the amazing
GDAL library. The other dominate language is Python. I was working
with the USGS on a project and every time something needed to be done
outside the typical WMS, WCS or ESRI Arc(whatever) it was done with
Python.

Can't add much about the other items, but if GIS is a core decision
point know that Python is heavily favored over Ruby.

Good Luck,

Cameron
