Kind of. 48 contributors total (Yes, Andrew is doing most) - https://github.com/andrewgodwin/channels/graphs/contributors It sounds like it wasn't decided to keep 3rd party as much as decided not to not combine yet : > The feedback I got during the proposal process for putting Channels into Django 1.10 (it did not get in before the deadline, but will still be developed as an external app with 1.10) was valuable; som…

HN discussionORM freezing is basically gone, in favour of a smarter approach where the previous state is derived from reading all of the previous migrations in to an in-memory data structure. Andrew's blog has some great write-ups of how the new system has evolved: http://www.aeracode.org/category/django-diaries/

HN discussionCongrats Django team! This iteration doesn't add too much for my current workings with the framework but it matures it none-the-less. My usual project compositions utilize Django, GraphQL, and React. I'm earnestly watching https://www.aeracode.org/2018/06/04/django-async-roadmap/ to hopefully work it's way into the near future releases.

HN discussionI think part of what he's insanely good at is carefully soliciting feedback from other people, particularly those with a lot of experience with similar but distinct problems. The final spec goes back close to a year ( https://www.aeracode.org/2015/6/17/beyond-request-response/ https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-developers/mt1mTNvc... ) and the polish really shows. I think of that as a “senior developer” skill…

HN discussionUnfortunately that doesn't quite work with out-of-the-box Mastodon. I'm running a bit of a proxy at https://simonwillison.net/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acc... but it still needs to point to my own dedicated instance, just because Mastodon can't have multiple domains pointed at a single instance of the software yet. I'm using this pattern (also shared by Andrew, before he started to spin up Takahē) https://aerac…

HN discussionHere are three specifically interesting things about Takahē: 1. The "multiple domains" feature. I'm running my own Mastodon instance right now purely so I can have my simonwillison.net domain as my identifier there (and protect myself from losing my identifier if the server I am using shuts down). This feels pretty wasteful! I'd much rather be able to point my domain at a Takahē instance shared with some of my frien…

HN discussionThat sounds great! I'm not super familiar with ActiveRecord, but I use Django migrations regularly. For me the things that stand out are 1. a declarative model - ie. defining the db schema rather than the migrations 2. auto generated migrations with the ability to customize 3. integration with tools for deployment and testing You probably have a much better idea of the landscape, but reach out to Andrew Godwin [1],…

HN discussionAsync support is actually planned for django in upcoming releases. Here's some info about that https://www.aeracode.org/2018/06/04/django-async-roadmap/ From what I understand ASGI was developed by Andrew Godwin for Django Channels.
