Just for my own curiosity, outside of the auto-magical Django Admin screens, what "out-of-the-box" features do you have with Django that you do not have with ASP.NET MVC? I'm not overly thrilled with ASP.NET (WebForms or MVC) for a number of reasons (mostly to do with hosting), but, based on my experience, the majority of ASP.NET MVC is basically ripped-off from RoR and Django.
You may want to check out IronPython, since that also runs on the CLR and would presumably not be too hard to integrate with. I'm not sure whether it is feature complete and can run existing web frameworks, though.
This is not first hand experience. (I even avoid parts of ASP.NET that I don't think are well designed, and avoid frameworks. Having said that at least Django seems to have been created by people who understand what HTML is about.)
There are some, fairly old, reports about using Django on IronPython. Looks doable though it was a little clunky a year ago.
See this link:
That might help.
Hi,
I've heard that Bistro Framework supports F#. I've never tried, I don't know if it's a good idea to use, but you can have a look:
[link:www.bistroframework.org]
[link:www.ndjango.org]
I've looked at those, and it is nice to have the option to code a website in F#. It's not quite what I'm looking for here, though. My issue is that basically any asp.net based approach is going to be tedious, and would like to interop with my F# assemblies from other platforms.

Built with WebSharper |
Hey all:
I'm building out a project in F# but I need a web front end for it. I really, really do NOT want to use ASP.net, for the simple reason that I can't stand the thought of building out a lot of the functionality that would normally come out of the box with something like Django.
I have no preference for using Windows or Linux as the server. My question is this: is it possible for me to efficiently interop with my #f/.net assemblies from python or ruby? Would this interop be faster on Linux or Windows? From what I've read on here, performance on Mono leaves a lot to be desired. I have a feeling I'm going to need to make this all service based or just suck it up and use ASP.net.
Simply: I have some F# code and I need a website to interact with it, and this may be more of an Interop issue. What's the most efficient approach?
Thanks
