Any experienced Django web devs on here? Has it been a good experience?

I remember it was fine in 2008. I liked how it generated admin panels automatically for you. No idea what it’s like now.

Was looking at wagtail (framework on top of framework 🤣😥) and started some tutorials. Feels like blazor, but less bulky.

No WASM though.

In general using python for web is weird imo but if you have to use python, Django is okay

Coming from Blazor, I’m already weird. And nobody likes me. 🤣

React and other js/ts are the way go to in web dev nowadays

I’ve been trying everything in my power to avoid JS. 🤣

It’s not working very well.

Elm is a nice option as well although the ecosystem is not huge

I used it ages ago and echo jb’s sentiments about the admin thing being cool. I quickly moved to the Flask framework for building webapps in python - it feels lighter weight and gives you basics for building apis and simple templated webapps.

if I was to use python to build a webapp today, I’d start with Flask.
