The problem in this space is that a quarter of century(!) after Fielding's dissertation [1] we don't have a serious follow up on "Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures". A blueprint of a class of well constrained designs that can optimized and adapted according to use case. The missing abstraction gap goes beyond Django (on the server side), and beyond Javascript on the client side. With the hardware and network capabilities of today it should be much easier to create wonderful networked software and mind blowing experiences but the appification of the Web is denying its very essence. The Web has become in essence a conduit for delivering proprietary apps. What would a worthy follow up look like? It needs to take into account the mobile revolution that happened in the meantime, which sort of requires taking into account clients of very diverse capabilities. It needs to take into account WASM, GPU etc. [1] https://ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/fielding_dissertation.pdf https://ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/fielding_dis...
