Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Replacing Django's Template Language With Jinja2, here is a quick summary:

The first example in the Loosely Coupled Django series, this entry looks at replacing Django's template language with the freshly released Jinja2 template language.

You are responding to this comment written by Will Larson on July 23rd 2008, 06:13.

What you are describing is not loose coupling but instead a complete lack of coupling. In this specific case (pluggable rendering for generic views and admin) it wouldn't be hard to allow complete decoupling, but chasing that level of decoupling ends up with endless layers of abstraction. Django places value on loose coupling, but it isn't the sole design principle either. It would be a very different framework (err, group of tools bundled together purely by happenstance) if complete decoupling was the developer's battlecry.
