So does that mean we should pick a new language/framework that is "hot" now and write a bunch of libraries for it? Basically, reinventing the wheel over and over and over again?

There are some differences that one could call objectively better in other technologies compared to Python/Django.

I'm somewhat conflicted about Channels. On the one hand it's cool what you can do with it and the design cleverly avoids rewriting all of Django to be async. On the other hand it is crazy how many shenanigans one needs to pull off to achieve what comes for free with Go or Erlang.

Fashion-like churn is obviously nonsense and reinventing the wheel usually a waste of time. But when you need a really round wheel and your current tools can only make hexagons...
