You can create a react site in a couple minutes using create-react-app. React has JSX which allows you to do basically everything JQuery could without hacks. Fetch or one of the wrapper libraries has HTTP covered. Typescript is great if you want everything to work seamlessly on older browsers while using modern JS. Yeah it's a lot to learn but once you know it, it's just as efficient as the old "JQuery forests + HTML" and way more maintainable. I did ASP.NET MVC for years and once I learned React + Angular I never looked back. They work just like the desktop UI libraries of old, which is a good thing. Django and related "server side" frameworks are functionally obsolete unless you have a very static website that needs perfect SEO (ex blog, news site)
