I much prefer Python but am not really seeing any point to doing anything other than JavaScript for web projects at this point.

I also do not see much reason to do more than emit JSON on the server side.

You still need clear separation between frontend and backend (react server components notwithstanding), so nothing's stopping you from using Python on the backend if you prefer it.

Django with DRF or django-ninja works really nice for that use case.

Well... that's a valid reason. Why should I work with tool B when I prefer tool A ?

That's the "SPA over API" mindset we need to reconsider. A lot (and I mean A LOT) of projects are way easier to produce and maintain with server-side rendered views.

HTMX with Django backend really excels in this regard.

		I'd prefer Unpoly over HTMX, but yes, it excels.

Figuring out which "json" to "emit" is the hard part.
