Well, Python is perfectly capable of producing a modern website.

Hell, even Go is (even used for some Google end-user visible web stuff).

So the only point in your snark comment was "you will also need javascript". Well, duh. But that's in the client code, no reason to have it in the backend.

Plus, you could even code your javascript in Python, with Pyjamas ;-P

Right. Javascript is not Go or Python. You will need more than those two languages.

Please don't do that.

Well, not necessarily. You can make a cool website without javascript at all. What with those fancy CSS animations and transitions etc.

Why? Not that different from using Coffescript, or the Closure Compiler. And transparent to the end user.

It is pretty different from using CoffeeScript. CoffeeScript produces output you wouldn't mind having to work with if you had to switch to JS. PyJamas produces a tangled mess that won't play nice with other JS libraries.

Yeah, don't do that either.
