Ask YC: is webpy dead?

It might not be dead. It might simply be done.

web.py is meant to be anti-framework. Adding new features probably isn't high on his list since it's not supposed to be monolithic like that. The code is stable and complete for what it was supposed to accomplish. Is there something you're looking for it to do that it doesn't (that would still be within their anti-framework scope)?

I deployed a low-volume production service on webpy a couple of years ago, and haven't had to pay more than cursory attention to logs and patches since then. That's fine with me, especially compared to, I dunno, Rails or PHP, where you pretty much have to apply some critical security patch every 60 days, or upgrade to handle the latest RESTfulEncryptedAgileCookieStoreAjaxWidget API.
