I would really like if there was a way to integrate with non-Python ecosystems. I know this is way outside the scope of Django, but I still have to mention it. The moment you want to rely on a JavaScript library or generate some CSS you pre

I guess the idea is first to provide a generic interface to connect various backends to and let the community develop those. Users of Django should then be able to swap one out for another. Maybe one will emerge as a quasi-standard or maybe

I am getting really mixed signals here. First the Pro features used to be free (libre), but now they no longer are. The features are supposedly not really needed, but then they being sold. What's with the Pro bundler? Why do we need a

I was quite excited for Datastart until I saw that they keep a good chunk of the functionality behind a proprietary license [1]. It's not even about the price (it is a bit steep though, but I guess if you use it in a commercial project

Is it bootstrappable? I mean really bootstrappable, not "the bootstrap script will download a binary from some server". This is where both Maven and Gradle fail (at least the last time I checked). Kotlin and Scala also have the pr
