If you don't mind Lua, then redbean already has you covered: https://redbean.dev/

Tunney-jart, ape, etc are so impressive... I'd like to see some real competition for Access, at least on Linux and/or BSDs. Because Access is untouchable in it's space. Because it _is_ the space. redbean looks very tasty indeed. If it was the foundation of an 'Access-on-GNU/Linux/BSD' that would be very cool.

You mean Access as in MS Access? Why not give Libre Office Base a try? Seems like an ok alternative

Are people still using Django?

A lot. And it baffles me why hasn't anyone realized that Kenneth Reitz was right about django over a decade ago and all his points are equally valid today. https://speakerdeck.com/kennethreitz/flasky-goodness

Well... no thanks. I've been doing similar apps with Django and Flask. I'll take Django over Flask any day. Way too much fiddling with Flask.

References to religions as true are generally unwelcome. It's not something most people want to be faced with when they just came for a simple technical discussion.

Maybe they just really like True Religion jeans?

Why, yes I do! So sad they downsized so much that my username is now out of style.

References to slavery in America, even references to movies of freed slaves struggling to free others are generally unwelcome. It’s not something most people want to be faced with when they just came for a simple technical discussion.

What are your facts about what most people want? Did you do some statistical work in this field? It would be interesting to see your results. As a competent HN reader you certainly are basing your view on some facts?

Oh no this is totally just my opinion, and I can only defend it with rhetoric, anecdotes, and common sense logic.

Don’t get name wrong, I don’t think the OP meant something malicious and I don’t want to word police in general. It’s just that this joke comes up all the time when Django is mentioned in a crowd. It may have been funny once but now it’s just kind of banal.

I found it clever and I welcome it. The history surrounding slavery isn't a taboo subject, what a ridiculous idea. The commenter in no way is condoning slavery.

Uh, yeah, it absolutely is a taboo subject, at least in the USA.

Yep, as a black person in the USA… this sort of reads as:

“Remember those times your ancestors were enslaved?

Which relates to a history of segregation and oppression so recent that your parents were alive when it was overturned? You must remember it since it’s still championed by secessionists and is the cause of ever present police brutality.

Remember that? Well wow, do I have a funny joke for you!”

Long story short, there are other jokes that could be made.

I will take a well curated package that handles all the problems for me rather than bolting together pieces just so I can feel more ownership of a project. - Admin panel? Django has me - Web forms? Django has me - Testing? Django, again has an out of the box solution - Latest in security practices[0]? Again, covered for free Flask, boy oh boy. I want an ORM? Guess I have to search around, Flask-SQLAlchemy has a lot o…

Well no. None of these thing are appealing to me. As much as I hate the modern web, admin panels and forms generated server side are dead. Testing has never been an issue. As for security practices, this statement is as subjective as they come.

I am by no means a fan of flask. However it gives you a lot more freedom to structure your application to your taste. Django is basically a php 5.4 framework with a python syntax.

In this day and age fastAPI is a solid choice, so is falcon and probably half a dozen others.

Hmm, this has me thinking I could build a single-file executable with a self-contained database or that connects to the server. And with a little work I might be able to launch the system browser pointed at the Djngo. And with this I might have a simple web based replacement for all the Access utilities floating around here? I know about Electron and Tauri and all that but this seems like an intriguing possibility to…
