I switched from Python. They are very similar languages, but one works on the web. Django might pull me back in if I need a CRUD app, but otherwise, it's easier to build a one-language team.
- HorizonXP 11y agoI came from Python too. I took the opposite tack. Our entire backend is written in Django + DRF. We have a Node.js front-end renderer in front of it to handle server-side rendering. I'd rather have a team that can handle multiple languages and shift between them, understanding that a language is simply a syntax for expressing your ideas, not something to be limited by. Some poetry is written best in French, Arabic, or English. Some technical manuals are best written in German or Japanese. You should choose the best language that fits your needs that lets your express yourself fully.
