I have recently started using React JS with an existing python/django project.
My experience from someone who is fluent with JQuery/Dom manipulations:
- Javascript has come a long way. But syntax still is ugly.
- With ES6, I predict coffeescript will fade away in the near future.
- Development on the front end is getting complex
- Use a tool like Webpack or Grunt or Browserify
- IDEs haven't caught up to javascript development...yet.
- Thinking in React JS takes some getting used to but pays off in the future when viewing everything as a component.

It doesn't have much of the ES7 strawman stuff, but I wouldn't expect it to. However, it works great with NPM modules, import/export syntax, destructuring, generators, etc etc.
- nsomaru 11y agoI would love to know about your toolchain. Our stack is python/django/jquery, and I've been looking into React on the frontend, and am particularly excited by Swampdragon and ishout.js integration with Django. How do you use React and Django? Have you tried building an "isomorphic" (buzzword alert) application using React/Django?
