Molten – A minimal framework for building HTTP APIs with Python 3.6+

Previous discussion (2 months old): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18107818

How's the community? Will it be maintained and improved over time? How quickly are issues resolved? Is it easy to get answers on stackoverflow? How's the plugin ecosystem? Are the docs clear and thorough?

I'm more interested in these types of meta-features if I'm planning to make a potentially multi-year bet on a framework.

I like to learn new languages and frameworks as much as the next person, but after a long time I have realized how counterproductive it may turn out.

Has anyone used it? Could that person give a brief tl;dr on the comparison with Django and Flask?

I like the way you can just insert the template right in the function as opposed to having to make an HTML file with the basic set up.

You want to know what's really amazing tech and underappreciated?

Scala.js- full power of both JavaScript and java/scala libs in a strongly typed well designed language.

I've recently started to become a little disappointed by Python when I tried to add multithreading code to my application. It turns out that Python does not support full multithreading because threads are still tightly coupled to eachother through a global lock, which can lead to performance issues, often in unexpected situations. Now, to mitigate this, the Python people have created a multiprocessing module, which effectively lets you run CPU-intensive tasks in a different process, so you get true multiprocessing. But the downside is that all communication with these processes has to happen through a message-queue or shared-memory interface, which is ... tedious and requires a lot of rewriting.
