I recently commented about the need for a Zope 3 application that allows mere mortal developers like me to take advantage of all its power and mentioned that Grok could very well be It.

Well, the Grok developers are moving fast, and just this past weekend held a sprint where Grok advanced a lot. Check out sprint reports from Jan-Wijbrand Kolman and Martijn Faassen. To make things more interesting, Philipp von Weitershausen has published a complete application showing how Grok code looks.

If you look at the code you will see simplicity you never thought possible with Zope 3, and only one line of ZCML! I think this cavemen are onto something.

Some people may sneer and say, "convention over configuration, where have I heard that one before?". I think it's not the same, though, since Grok will be based on a poweful framework and the potential for easy integration, extension and customization is good. If you thought there are too many web frameworks for Python, wait to see if the Grok approach shows results and you might be surprised.
