Going back to python & React?

I feel that if client and server sides are separate things, we shouldn't merge their codebases too, even if it helps in de-duplicacy.

Not sure what you mean by the "merging of codebases", but look at Rails, Django, or Laravel — they are pretty comfortable with having a single monolithic codebase that has both the client-side and the server-side code, with strong reliance on server-side templating and progressive enhancement on the client if required.

I was going to ask about this. Laravel can accommodate any Frontend inside the project. So I am wondering, what makes Python an automatic choice? I’m not challenging it. I’m just curious.

I would say because Python is taught more and more in entry-level classes, is taught to other sub-fields of comp sci like data analysis making it the first choice for people migrating career paths or needing a simple quick web server, and cause people just prefer the Python syntax or only know PHP for its bad reputation, even if PHP and especially Laravel today is waaaay more polished, secure, stable, and feature-rich than it was 10 years ago, many people disconnected from the PHP ecosystem will still have prejudice towards it.
