I've been working with Django for almost my whole career, since 1.1. It's a joy to use, and blows any other web framework I've used out of the water when it comes to actually just building stuff. Django is a fantastic boring[1] tool, and seeing boring updates like this is great. 1: http://mcfunley.com/choose-boring-technology

What do you use to write your front end Javascript?
Not OP, but I've also been using Django for (more than) my whole career and I use React on the frontend. If you're curious about the frontend path I took, it was roughly: * jQuery with no framework * Backbone (for a couple years) * Backbone + Marionette (for a couple more years) * Angular (for about a week) * React (for the past few years)
I'm using stuff like slickgrid[0], jquery-ui datepicker, json-editor[1] and wonder how I will drive these components from something like Angular or React?
doh, quickly googled for the github links below and saw there now a slickgrid-es6[2] fork which I have not tried. But my question still stand: how do you drive jquery libs from newer frameworks?

Thanks for the input. Comments like these are insightful. What do you think of Vue.js?

Django is the only web framework where I see consistently positive discussions about it on HN. Bravo Django, and congratulations on another release!
For example in sqla you will do:
records = db_session.query(Resource).filter(
Resources.data["lastname"].astext == "Doe"
).all()

As a counter point, I tried to use Django for a data-visualisation project and ran into some problems. Everything is built on models, which are kind of activerecord pattern. Django has an inbuilt (and inferior) version of sqlalchemy, so that when you want to push sql past a certain point (define queries more complex than the api) you're pretty much stuck. Now you have codebase with two different database libraries in…
As for the initialization stuff -- yes, that's true; whenever Django models are being imported, you do need to have had `django.setup()` called.
To django model users. Can you query keys inside a JSON datatype(pgsql)[0] from the ORM? For example in sqla you will do: records = db_session.query(Resource).filter( Resources.data["lastname"].astext == "Doe" ).all() with data being the json column and lastname a key in the column.

I'm exploring using Django Channels to send data to visualisation SPA's in realtime. https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Not OP either, but I've been using Django REST framework with React.js, and I'm really enjoying it.
Any tips for how to use JWT authentication and get around CSRF tokens being in forms when combining DRF with a JS SPA UI?
If any other site tries to POST to the API on behalf of the current user they'll get a "Authentication credentials required" message.
