Hmm. I'm not primarily a web developer but when I do do web stuff that needs a database, Django is my go to. I also try to avoid JS as much as possible. I honestly feel like it's a good design approach/directive - use HTML and CSS as much as possible, and JS only when needed and sparingly. I'm not against it at all, I use it to expand menus, or to change a hidden field to visible based on which option in a dropdown is selected, maybe even some AJAX stuff. But mostly if I can avoid it I do. My sites still look modern, but they are fast, and often the entire front page can load in 0.3 seconds or similar (according to various online speed tests). I haven't ever needed TypeScript, Sass or whatever RxJS is.
