Django Hates Magic?

without comments

Django is destroying the magic.

This isn’t new news, but it’s only recently started to weigh on me heavily. Sure, as a committed Pythoniac (Pythonista? Blah. I’m a Pythoniac) I understand that “magic” is yucky, and needs to be removed.

That said, the magic-removal branch makes me think that Django is explaining the card trick, or killing Harry Potter, or burning down Disneyworld. DON’T BURN DOWN DISNEYWORLD DJANGO!

Keep on with your bad selves Django-nauts, the magic-removal (oops, do you hear that kid crying? He just heard Django is killing Harry Potter) branch is good stuff, and needs to be done. I eagerly await its release, however, I’d like to humbly suggest a name change.

How about “Django goes Electric” or “Make my funk the D-funk” or “Can you smell what the Django is cooking?” Anything is better than the removal of magic. Django is supposed to be about magic! Remove that magic, and you’ve just got a green website. Keep the Magic! Remove the crap!
