alt Hacker NewsIgnore all the hate in the comments here, anyone denying the direction of software development and it aggressively becoming agentic have their own reckonings to deal with…
I love this concept. While I’m a Rails guy myself, I appreciate the value of Django too, and an agent-optimized version of it makes sense.
I feel like the next logical steps are this exact concept but in Go / Rust to get even more performance out of everything and to also get the single deployable binary too

You're absolutely right!
I've actually been vibe coding a port of Django to Rust as a fun learning experience. I didn't expect it to be possible, but I've already got the core ORM working (including makemigrations, migrate, and inspectdb) with basic admin support running.
Single file deployment, and the process seems to only use 3-4 MB of memory.
I've been able to use inspectdb on existing Django databases, and then browse and change that data using the rust admin.
I am probably not the right person to build a production ready version of this - since I am not a Rust developer - but gee I am impressed by how good it is becoming.
