I'm not sure relying on three frameworks (Django, Hotwire, Turbo) and two languages (Python, Javascript) is a more "modest" solution.<p>Python is my primary language, but there is a real benefit to "modern" web. More and more of my apps are 100% HTML/Javascript, static (deployed to Netlify) and rely on Hasura for the data layer).<p>If I really do need a backend, I create a small Python webapp just for that).
Does Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus still require running a server? I really like my setup of Svelte front-end, serverless functions on Zeit that do all the data handling, and Airtable "back-end" for collecting form data.<p>Svelte compiles everything so it's lightning fast and I don't have to pay for servers. I'm not sure how Hotwire is more "modest" than that if it requires a server running at all times...
