Rewriting Reddit (2005)

Used Tornado, django and flask quite a bit, web.py only once. As others have mentioned, it didn't work that well, and the community around it is smaller than other frameworks. Again today, Django seems a bit cumbersome, Tornado works well but has a very low bus factor.

Pretty sure flask is currently the front runner in "python microframeworks".

Flask has my preference 2. I was wondering what was reddit's folks opinion for flask.

Flask (2010) wasn't around when reddit was (re)written (2005).

If the author got hit by a bus, there's no one else around to maintain it.

Generally refers to "how many people can continue to develop/support this software if original maintainer (and close co-developers) get hit by a bus."

> What's bus factor?

The number of developers that can be suddenly and totally lost from a project (e.g., by being hit by a bus) without the project itself becoming unable to proceed effectively.
