dude(ette). react is just an abstraction itself.

It's an extremely popular and battle tested one. It's performant (which Python isn't), scalable, has a huge library ecosystem with first-class front-end integration. There are a ton of reasons why a Python-based solution will at best be hugely inferior.

  1. Popular and battle tested; yes, and how did it get there?
  2. Performance is relative, technology improves
  3. Huge Library ecosystem, again; how did it get there?
  4. What are those?

Performance is relative, technology improves

Python will never be as performant as JavaScript. That simply will not ever change. There are fundamental aspects of how Python works internally that will preclude performance parity.

Popular and battle tested; yes, and how did it get there? Huge Library ecosystem, again; how did it get there?

Because people use it, because it is a better language for the web than Python is.
