What are you doing with python and go that "just works"? Writing scripts? It takes a lot more work to build a yelp clone with python than it does with react.

I could build a simple and performant Yelp clone with full authentication, admin access, and persistence using only a handful of Python packages: * Flask: web app microframework * Jinja2: view templating language * SQLAlchemy: database ORM * Psycopg: Postgres database driver * Flask-SQLAlchemy: Flask plugin for SQLAlchemy * Flask-Login: authentication, accounts * Flask-Admin: administration Of course, just like in the case of React, you'd need HTML + CSS for styling, and JS in case you'd like interactive elements. And finally, to run the app in production, I'd use Nginx + uWSGI.

    Yeah so it's really not very simple.

      Well yeah, it's not really an apples to apples comparison. A Yelp clone written in React lacks user auth, persistence, and admin.

        And you will be able to use the same python tools for years to come. Good luck with JS frameworks there!

      Or, if you want to use compiled code and have it be installable on multiple OSs, conda
