  I recently contributed to Flask-Ask and have been developing apps for Alexa for a while now. The APIs/Boilerplate code for the `easier way` is definitely harder than Flask-Ask is right now.

  Also flask-assistant is the google assistant version which (IIRC) was inspired by flask-ask. https://flask-assistant.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick_start.html#installation https://flask-assistant.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick_start...

  Yes! I recently adapted a project of mine to be available as an Alexa skill, and it only took ~40 lines to get it working [0]. 0: https://github.com/ssaamm/pun-generator/compare/24188aceb3daf8c62ae0e0f3cde35d4cb06ea69b...ssaamm:e7490906175613065832686cc4240d84ae19a801 https://github.com/ssaamm/pun-generator/compare/24188aceb3da...

  Played with this. It is stupid easy to make apps for Alexa with Flask-Ask.

  I agree, I've used this package since the beginning. Python is my favorite computer language so far. I started with Flash, then HTML & CSS, then jQuery, PHP, MySQL, etc. Could not mention Python without Virtualenv, Django, and Flask. To me, these tools are like LEGO for programming. I like JS too, who wouldn't? People literally live on the internet.
