Thanks for the tips about Django with Crossbar. It doesn't sound entirely smooth sailing ;) Be that as it may, we got some IoT things starting and it might fit the bill. I'd certainly back such a kickstarter ;) I took a look at asyncio just a few days ago and got dizzy fast. As you said, async is hard. I just wish it could be more explicit without having all that boilerplate. These days doing much more functional programming I'm thinking that configuration should be data instead of global state we got now. I think that Django is still great and keeps getting better. I'm not about to replace it. I just hope it wasn't so hard to use functionality and data in Django projects by less conventional means (such as when async ops, long running processing or keeping track of changes is required).
