How good is flask?

blog

I’ve used Django for my last project and I found the documentation unclear and the list of things I had to do to code simple things and deploy were… a bit too much for a simple project.

I’ve glanced at the Flask documentation and have found it über-clear. The syntax seems to be pretty straight-forward as well. I’m really thinking about learning Flask for my next project and putting Django on hold. What do you guys think?

There’s also a talk on web2py in the current PyCon. I don’t know if it’s for me but I really need something I can do quick prototypes on.

Sometimes I wonder if I should go back to PHP and try the new Laravel that really looks super cool :)
