> I don't understand the distinction. The distinction was that cdnsteve was motivated to switch to Python due to issues with the toolchain and build system, not that JavaScript was weakly-typed. > JavaScript tooling is notoriously complicated on the front-end, not the back-end. And I doubt they're saying that they switched to Python on the front-end. You have a good point, though you still have to pull in dependencies and deal with NPM when running JS on the server-side (especially if the server is doing non-trivial stuff). Idk, maybe an approach with server-side rendering using Python did away with much of the JS usage which made things nicer.
