I'm actually building an app on the side and went the other way around on this. Migrating from Typescript back to Python. Granted, my gripes were more with NextJS rather than Node or Typescript.

Using Django was so intuitive although the nomenclature could do a bit better. But what took me days trying to battle it out on NextJS was literally done in an hour with Django (admin management on the backend). While Django still looks and feels a bit antiquated, at least it worked! Meanwhile I lost the entirety of the past weekend (or rather quite a bit of it), trying to fight my code and clean up things in NextJS because somehow the recommended approach for most things is mixing up your frontend and backend, and a complete disregard for separation of concerns.

My new stack from now one will likely be NextJS for the frontend alone, Django for the CRUD and authentication backend, Supabase Edge functions for serverless and FastAPI if needed for intensive AI APIs. Open to suggestions, ideas and opinions though.
