1. I think Django has a lot to offer.

If you like the MVC ideology. Its python based, but strikes simpler than Zope.

I don't like the way it handles models though. I don't like the way any of them handle models. We need a fusion of SQL and a scripting language, which totally combines the power of both. Then let the back end basically be the database plus a little scripting, all in the same language. Get rid of translations between a scripting language and SQL in real time. The whole idea of the status quo is basically absurd: Its like the database speaks Russian, and we need a UN translator (models) to convert it to French, the server side scripting language, which will then produce output in English (HTML), with an entourage in consisting of a Spanish speaker (CSS) and a German speaker (Javascript). Its frickin absurd. SQL queries, server side scripting, and client side scripting should all be in the same language.
