Föderation EN Fr 07.02.2025 00:07:07 Been working in server-side Typescript for a long while now. So, when I started my Pebbling Club side project last fall, I reached for that out of habit. But lately, I've been dipping back into Python. And that makes me miss Django and all its included batteries. After a couple months' break from working on Pebbling Club, I'm very tempted to scrap the first 3 months' effort and restart in Django. |
Föderation EN Fr 07.02.2025 00:09:41 I think I'm just kind of fighting upstream against the node.js / Typescript happy path? Because I'm not using any of the combined frontend / backend magical mishmash frameworks like next.js. Kind of want a pretty distinct backend and a minimal frontend built with Web Components. That doesn't seem to be the current flavor in node-world |
Föderation EN Fr 07.02.2025 00:11:59 If I'm being totally honest, I don't really enjoy the weird magical isomorphic javascript webdev world all that much after a few years living in it. Feels like it makes a lot of things hard to reason about. Blurs some boundaries, interfaces, and contracts that feel better when a bit more distinct. But might just be me. |
Föderation EN Fr 07.02.2025 00:14:42 @lmorchard I am on your side on this. I much prefer Express for API, and a separate Web Components front end. They are not the same and that is OK. |
Föderation EN Fr 07.02.2025 00:20:22 @lmorchard i kinda wanna do my next personal web project _aggressively_ using web components. it feels like a good level of abstraction that actually fits in the html world and doesn't force you into any giant framework i can even use them on nice hand-written static sites |
