Notes

Abstract

Django is a big, slow-moving object. Lots of people worry about how much traction the framework still has, and its long-term outlook. Today, together, we get to review its existential threats – and opportunities 🌈!

We’ll start with a data-driven review of emerging trends in the web development ecosystem, with a particular focus on Python. We’ll look at specific Python considerations (types, tooling, package discovery) that are relevant for all projects, and specific indicators of the project health for contributors, and underlying usage trends.
