I've tried FastAPI recently, as the idea matured, I came to regret the decison. It's not bad, in fact it was very pleasant to get started with, yet I found myself missing and reinventing the wheel as compared to django. I develop with Django since 2015 (1.6 or so), to me it is the goto for any web related project.

I used to think my distaste for new and upcoming Javascript frameworks is a sign of getting old and not being as adaptable as I used to. But nowadays my thinking has shifted to seeing it as a instant loss of productivity with little upside.

Just like musicians don't switch instruments every time they see something shiny. Neither should we, or at least without feeling guilty about it. Mastery takes time.
