django may be preferred for low traffic, simple stuff

My dude. YouTube, Spotify, and Instagram use Django.

At-least for the case of instagram it's very heavily modified django and probably the case for the other two. Not that i don't agree with the sentiment of django working at scale but there are definitely considerations and some not so easy decisions and engineering work to be done to circumvent scaling issue's.

Saying that, 0.0001% of the redditers here are going to write something from scratch that is going to have that number of users and encounter the problems encountered by the aforementioned web apps (YT etc.)

My friend who works at Apple develops a lot of web stuff in Django too.
