       @simon @rennerocha @frank @webology @carlton interesting. That was my first question too: are you read or write heavy. If the former, then probably why some reasons to adopt it. I'll report more when I find out!

       Spending a weekend evening diving into the history of the Django pony mascot and rewatching Cal Henderson's fantastic talk that, among other things, cites the need for one. https://youtu.be/i6Fr65PFqfk?si=vsQabN118GXJej3h&t=3304It's quite an exceptional talk that still holds up. I'd say especially the general points about web frameworks 19 minutes or so in.

       Why research this? I'm redesigning my Django for Beginners cover for the 5.0 edition, and an obvious choice is a pony/unicorn/horse theme. But a lot (most) people I show mockups to are like, um, what's up with the pony? So I need some sort of brief explanation 😄 .I wasn't around Django for any of this so it's a bit of an archeological expedition for me.

       I'm happy for a @django person to correct me on all this (👋 @simon) but I "think" Cal's talk kick-started a discussion that led to the Django pony website, images, and then Django core devs joking about adding "ponies" to Django as a metaphor for a magical, elusive feature that everyone wanted. The pony also is a pretty lighthearted emblem of the culture and its ability to be friendly/fun while still doing "serious web stuff."

       @django @simon There is also the Calvin & Hobbes angle which I love, but not sure if that's epistemologically correct

       For the next @djangochat, @carlton and I will be chatting with @simon. If there are any questions you're dying to ask Simon or us, please respond and we'll try to work them into the show we're recording next Tuesday!

       In our @djangochat discussion with @simon this morning (comes out in 2 weeks!), we discussed single file Django attempts, and he has a 15-year-old take on this on GitHub. https://github.com/simonw/djngIt's quite fun to compare that to @carlton take from 2019: https://github.com/wsvincent/django-microframeworkAnd then @paulox update in 2023:  https://github.com/pauloxnet/uDjango
