I think there are already plenty of lightweight options for small projects. A static site can be written in HTML + CSS, hosted on GitHub, bundled with Jekyll, and deployed with GitHub actions. Django is super lightweight for small projects that need interactivity.
These two solutions can address all of these examples I can think of for a "simple" site:
- static blog site
- interaction with a database
- interaction with external APIs
- simple games (Django is based in Python)
- more complicated interactivity (pick a language that's compatible with Wasm)
- shrimpx 3y agoGood points but I think (a) this is a fairly complex stack with moving parts and multiple languages where (b) it's still pretty hard to build something as simple as "when I click this button, it reads something from disk and the webpage updates without reloading".
