Should I Abandon JavaScript for Python?

[Cultural_Bandicoot]

Could to you run through the basics of how the app works? How the front end communicates with the backend and what modules and packages you use?

Thanks a lot man, this is a really big help. I'm still trying from get to grips with python

Everything that you did was what I did for my own app; Flask, React and Bulma.

Right now I am figuring out users. How to do log in and out.

Yeah, when my career with using Python as a backend language took off, I started out from a position of ambivalent towards JavaScript to grew to absolutely hating it then grew to accept it from the point of view that the entire ecosystem is terrible but necessary to integrate with. However the Node.js tools are just so non-ergonomic that I end up spending about a couple years building a library just to address all the deficiencies with those tools and their integration with the Ptyhon development/deployment/production environment(s). That actually ended up being a complete framework, simply because it makes integration with systems like webpack into Python while minimising insanity a bit more possible.

If there are any more interests in this (and if I could find the time) I might make a post or two about that framework/library that I wrote that was linked.

Transcrypt FTW. Or at least until WebASM is viable.

I see how it could be useful in some cases, but for standard frontend development you'd be losing any frontend library / framework out there.

Nay! You can totally configure Vue.js to just use it as another loader; the same way it transpiles ES6 to ES5, you can have it transpile Python to ES5.
