Maybe it is easier to learn a framework within the ecosystem of a language you already know than to learn both a framework and a new language.
Tons of software exists for this reason. For example, somewhat relevant here, web apps in R via R Shiny: https://www.rstudio.com/products/shiny/ https://www.rstudio.com/products/shiny/
(There is also Shiny for Python IIRC.)

For services that I'm building that are not heavily frontend reliant, I don't want to learn a whole new language and framework
- turtlebits 3y agoAgreed. There's a time and place for quick and dirty interfaces to kick off server-side code, which is what this feels like. There is definitely that barrier to entry to have to write server side routes and html/js to interact with them.
