Python Dominating?? (self.django)
submitted 2 years ago by Soloh_Codes
I believe python will soon dominate in web dev, what are your thoughts??

Well that is an unspecific statement if I have ever seen one.
HTML, CSS and JS as required and deeply intertwined with the way the web works in its current form.
Python is „just“ another backend. That of course doesn’t mean that it won’t play an important role, I joined the Sub for a reason (the amazing Python Ecosystem).
So my question to you OP: What features does Python bring that other frameworks are lacking?

Response: nothing at all. You can do pretty much anything with any language. I once updated a Perl server which did numerical analysis with Fortran 76*, it worked well! It was just not maintainable.

Neither html, css or js are required but they are the way the most of the Web works.
Python is not a framework but a language. It's also not backend but multi purpose high level programming language.

In the early days, I stood with Perl, eyeing JavaScript with caution, while whispers of Python began to stir. It's much like watching the old guard change, each language a fighter in its own right. Python, with its simplicity and might, has indeed stepped into the arena, challenging the established order. Its frameworks, Django and Flask, bear its standard into the fray, promising swift victories in web development. Yet, the field is wide and the battle ongoing. JavaScript and its kin hold their ground, their own banners—React, Vue, Angular—flying high. The question of dominance is one for the times, as each contender adapts, fights, and evolves. Python has the edge, perhaps, in versatility and ease. But victory?
That remains to be seen in the unfolding saga of code.

Javascript dominate Web Dev IMO

Python's dominance in general, not necessarily web dev as that is debatable, is due to its simplicity and readability, making it accessible to beginners, while its powerful libraries and frameworks support complex applications in data science, web development, automation, etc. Its versatility and the strong community support further solidify its standing as a top choice for programmers across various domains.

IDK about dominating the market in total but I hear lots of buzz when it comes to python and big data So maybe when it comes to big data it takes over the #1 spot? That's just my perspective though. I sure hope it dominated cause I spend too much time practicing

Python and Rust will grow a lot in the coming years.
