I don't think we should have an inferiority complex when it comes to  
adoption. Developers will come our way when they are ready, all we  
have to do is make sure we are prepared to take care of them when they  
do.

The curious will no doubt wonder what makes five smart people gather  
around a framework that most python developers never have heard of. To  
me choosing to learn Grok was a step very similar to when I back in  
1999 choose to purchase a Powerbook on the promise of Macosx. Not so  
much for what it was, but for what it was destined to be... :)
