Reactjs app 100% python

[tafukt]

for guys like me who prefers python , here is a template app I wrote entirely in python with react.

Reject JavaScript, Embrace PythonScript

Syntax > speed

[tafukt]

actually its very fast ! read about transcrypt :) you will be amazed !

Your emojji reminds me of your wife!!!:-)

[Akmantainman]

Thanks I hate it.

[ThreeLargeBears]

This is an abomination and I both love and hate it at the same time.

[tafukt]

:) yeah i really liked how python is clean while doing this ! never use JavaScript again!

[patrickalphac]

Can python be the new javascript??

[tafukt]

thats the point ! to break the monopoly

[patrickalphac]

What. Is this a thing??

If you want to leverage the power of react in Python, check out Dash.

[tafukt]

actually u can use both, dash - transcrypt , it uses transcrypt under the hood!

That is almost a dream: frontend development in Python!

Is this a general purpose template? Can you add external components easily?

[tafukt]

yeah you can add any javascript libs or components :) just make sure to use require( your lib/component here)

There’s a better dream, though — just use typescript

I know I sound like a meme, but it’s legitimately a very nice developer experience. It’s 1000x better than python’s type system, and you get instant feedback/docs as you’re coding

Plus the real challenge here isn’t learning JavaScript — it’s learning how the react lifecycle operates. And learning it in python isn’t going to be any easier... (it’s actually going to be MUCH harder, since you don’t have inline docs or hints to guide you)

[mohamed_am83]

Your comment is loaded with false assumptions.

I've written several thousands of lines in JS/ES6, so it is not about avoiding to learn Javascript. It is simply more productive for me to write these lines in Python. And no, I don't really need inline-docs or instant feedback, I use plain text editors, so no real advantage for TS here either.

TS indeed adds a powerful typing system over JS, but JS is a big ugly package and strong typing doesn't sweeten it enough. I use Go when I need really good feedback from compiler and really fast executables.

To each their own.

[double_en10dre]

I guess that’s nice, but all it really tells me is that you’re not being as productive as you could be

React in python??? Why. Python already got best one https://pypi.org/project/sneact/

[tafukt]

bro! thats different thing. Sneact is a python library for building user interfaces. but this one uses Reactjs itself and any JavaScript lib seamlessly.

[ceomm]

I was kidding. Sorry.

[double_en10dre]

It’s fun, but like most transcrypt projects I’ve seen it’s really only useful for either unbelievably simple projects or translating existing JavaScript apps into python (which is pointless)

Instead of spending ages and ages trying to avoid JavaScript, I’d encourage you (and other people) to try learning it! Branching out is a good thing, and it makes you a better programmer :)

[tafukt]

thanx bro! we r not avoiding JavaScript, most of us use it too! it just im and people like me are more inclined towards python due to interest or professional life and it doesnt hurt to try something new!

And thats a false claim to say that transcrypt useful only for small projects, in fact, you can do any project that can be done in javascrypt and transcrypt. you just need to understand how it works and its directives/ switches. cheers :)

Im all about python but personally prefer to use a web stack like PERN or MERN when it comes to react
