At work, I’ve been using Django exclusively for almost a decade. I’ve just taken note of how much of a funk I’m in and have been branching out, especially in the JS space. I’m amazed at how far ahead Django’s ORM is. Hell, I’m amazed at how far ahead 5-years-ago Django’s ORM is. I’ve been enjoying playing with some of the typed JS ORMs / query builders out there. I’m certainly more skeptical of ORMs than I’ve been in previous years, but if an ORM is what you want, I have an increased appreciation of Django’s execution. I’ve honestly got no idea if DRF is comparatively better than what you can do with other frameworks. I’ve recently come out the other side of some work that’s led me to believe that DRF has some deep rooted design flaws that it’ll never be able to dig itself out of. I’m excited to see how the new generation of API authoring tools shakes this all up. None I’d this is to say that it’s any better anywhere else. I don’t think that things like FastAPI are the sort of like-for-like replacement that I’m interested in.
