Django 4.2 Released

I&#x27;ve been away from python for quite some time but enjoyed using django on a project 5-6 years ago. I thought it was really full-featured and fairly intuitive, but it seemed to rely heavily on what seems to be considered an older paradim of submitting forms, and getting sent to a new page, etc, vs the &quot;Single Page Application&quot; concept.<p>I know it was possible to do SPAs with django-rest or something, but I&#x27;m curious if Django has mostly stayed in this &quot;older&quot; paradigm or if its more .. modernized at this point?

I keep wanting to switch personal projects to use my professional language C#, but there still is nothing as reasonable as a django default admin view with CRUD for the entities you create, so I always go back.

Django Rest Framework for getting services up and running quickly is a godsend.<p>If service needs extra performance then can be rewritten in Golang later.

I love Django, but I can’t help but feel FastAPI &gt; Django these days.

Django is cool. But miss the type safety. FastAPI is better but is openapi spec second. Not easy for clients.<p>However now doing mostly Kotlin with Ktor and loving it. Just a better language which makes it much easier to trust the compiler. Lot less unit testing needed.<p>And Kotlin feels really pythonic

I feel like lately js (and more importantly typescript) frameworks have been more popular. If someone were to start a new project today, how does Django standup to the current offerings?
