So the reddit.com re-write has moved on from the battlefield of LISP vs Python to the PyWebOff battlefield territory. Aaron Swartz fired the first shot, here is my take:

Read it last night ;).
I thought Aaron was being a bit of a pompous ass in the post. It remains to see if web.py is that much better than, say, TurboGears, which he rejected based on less-than-tasteful website (ok, I donât like their graphics and marketing either).
His point about interface-first programming is excellent, though. =============================================
To summarize: Aaron, kudos on theory and as far as practice - show me the money! I cannot wait for the 15-minute iTunes clone, web.py version.
=================== Live update: Watching this post get voted way down on reddit makes me wonder about how skewed the site is towards it's founders' social circle. Especially considering the fact the Aaron's post takes some time to read and process, and I was voted down 3 points in all of ten minutes. Hmmm...
