Nothing wrong here, but Django/HTMX seem quite 'old' technologies to me for a new project made in 2026. Nowadays I use FastAPI/SQLAlchemy for the backend and SvelteKit on the frontend.
And for hmtx I simply wanted to have something lightweight that is not very invasive to keep things simple and dependencies low.
In my head this was a good consideration to keep complexity low for my AI agents :-)
Also calling HTMX old makes me feel old.
Yes, and Django feels like more of a Drillator than a simple screwdriver to me.
It's simple, it works, it's efficient, safe, and there are tons of online resources for it. Excellent choice, even more so when using a coding agent.
Svelte even older (2016, SvelteKit was just an new version in 2022)
SQLAlchemy is ancient (2006)
Use newer tech, like HTMX (2020)
(/s obviously)
