Code hot swapping is one of the most useful features a language can offer. It allows the developer to see changes as soon as he saves the source code.

In 2007, and again in 2009, I made an attempt to measure the size of the Django community. By popular request — okay, a couple people asked for it, whatever — let’s do this thing again. Users In 2007 and 2009, I shared three ways of looking at how many people are using Django: hits to the website, downloads of the Django tarball, and sites listed as “using Django.” So, here’s an overview of users, some notes on interpreting these numbers follow:
