Well, well... that may not be true for much longer. just take a look at RedwoodJS - https://redwoodjs.com. It's near 1.0, has a solid core team (with a really sounding track record) and just works (really)!

You can't get anything near as sober, sane, predictable, and idiomatic as it IMHO. Just try it.

While it sounds neat in its area, it seems to be the same philosophy than nest js: an opinionated way to gather a set of trendy tools (React, GraphQL, Prisma, Jest, WebPack, Babel, etc.) and enforce conventions around them.

To me, it remains different from Django (or Rails) in a sense Django developed all the framework components themselves, which has major implications.

It does look useful, but skimming the docs I see a lot of the management is running yarn commands, hand editing model files, toml files, tweaking graphql, etc.

It seems closer to something like Laravel than Django or Rails. And even that comparison is hard because it's trying to orchestrate a lot of 3rd party stuff where Laravel is orchestrating mostly it's own stuff.
