I think the presenter was referring to the Django Pony -- Django's widely known but unofficial mascot -- and not trying to invoke a My Little Pony meme.
There's humor, and there's LCD pandering. Despite that, this submission did get me to try out Flask. Nice and straightforward to get started with, which is good because I'm stupid.
It's easy to make a boring but informative presentation. It is much more difficult to make a funny but informative presentation. Of course, if you have no sense of humor, I must assume you are a lost traveler from Boringland.
I love cars. I love driving them, I love working on them, I love the design language and history. They're one of the finest expressions of man's use of engineering to conquer his surroundings and go extremely fast. I'd also love a future where you don't need a car to commute, though.
I often wonder why there is such a common city style of dense commercial infrastructure (downtown) surrounded by further and further distant residential infrastructure.
Why don't we construct buildings that have both residential floors and commercial floors, for instance? At least then you'd have more options for living very close to where you work.

Houston sort of does this via very relaxed zoning, which allows office buildings and stores to be placed right next to houses and apartments. It works better than you'd expect and it's usually not hard to live close to work, especially since housing is so cheap.
I'm in NYC now, and enjoy not needing a car, but the difference in rent comes to more than a new car every year.
It helps though. High adoption, especially with bigger companies, leads to my eyes on the code which can cause a higher quality run time. It also means there are more tools, frameworks, reference books, and ultimately jobs out there for it.
Yes. The availability of a bunch of easy-to-Google tutorials, libraries, hacks, workarounds etc should be included in the overall utility of a language.
I just followed the first half dozen search results for "php tutorial mysql". All of them resort to pasting string literals into queries, with not a prepared statement in sight. One of PHP's problems is that it quickly reached a critical mass of self-perpetuating misinformation between the ignorant and the slightly less ignorant, ensuring unforgivable security blunders for years to come. At this point I don't know how anyone could solve this, short of dramatic language changes that make those crappy old tutorials obviously unusable.
Disagree, there are plenty of problems this solves. For example, this service could allow users of certain platforms to utilize tools that don't compile or are difficult to compile on certain platforms.
