Agreed, it definitely is limited. Also the admin panel is limited too, and although it's very extendable, the admin extension API is kind of clunky and inconsistent at times. Yeah FastAPI looks great! I've used Sanic in the past and FastAPI seems cool for some of the same reasons. I'm also following closely Django Hotwire - https://hotwire.dev/

I only brought up Django in a narrow context to challenge an assumption made by the post I was replying to, that seemed to imply that JavaScript ecosystem is indisputably the fastest for rapid prototyping. Hence my providing of a counter-example. I think this is especially true for new coders, as having certain things out of the way is super vital to keep motivated when building MVPs -- I've seen many students give up on ideas simply because implementing authentication with a Node.js-based stack was too challenging, when they would have been happily coding away had we been teaching a batteries-included framework (django / rails / etc).
