Channels adopted as an official Django project (opens in new tab)

Data integrity is based on your datastore, not a web framework (or even an orm), performance is relative as generally the performance issue in a web application is the database and not the web framework, a complex framework? Just write the front-end with react and build the backend bits in django. I use django every day happily and fail to see any of these as reasons to dislike it.

Now if you had mentioned heavy concurrency I might actually take your comment a bit more seriously. Then the answer is don't use Django or python, use golang or C/Rust.

That's one hell of a vague caution.

Vague rebuke: In my experience, Django actually does very well compared to a lot of other solutions. So there.

Any chance you could go a bit deeper on these issues?

I particularly don't understand the "complex front-end" part. What about django's templating system hinders implementing a rich javascript based UI?

I've been quite happy using the templating system to deliver data to the front end and then using whatever js libs / frameworks I've needed to display the data to the user....

For data integrity and performance I would not necessarily use an ORM, which I used for this project as it was a small backend, rapidly developed to satisfy a business need. However, I think Django can easily handle complex front-ends, data integrity etc - it simply depends on your design choices and especially your data store.

Thanks for the answer, I'll check all this :P
