Yup it's actually a replica of Ruby for Django. Which is why data scientists will work with Flask more than Django.

Due to its huge learning curve that follows to just to understand it and use it fully because you are really going past the microservice and API aspects of it.

Are you saying flask has a huge learning curve while also advocating Django? Or am I misunderstanding? I've done professional work in both; flask was significantly easier to get people productive in fastest but I did lay solid foundations following good patterns and recommended extensions like flask-talisman and co.

Ahh.. its my bad I wrote wrongly. I was referring to Django for steep learning curve.

To me it is more like of a overkill to use Django. Which Data Scientists just prefer to get it done with a quick & dirty solution.

Depending on who you talk to they might not even know of the concept of clean code or TDD.

When they are building a data product as it is not part of their job to do it.
