In my experience scattering an application over python and javascript ends in very messy code most of the time.

Here are some snippets from our legacy codebase, where the exact same method is used (Django Crispy Forms): https://walkman.cloud/s/TWmtNMjMM3ZfdZM

This is NOT the right solution to the problem you mentioned. If developers don't know what they are doing, they can leave an even bigger mess with this.

No approach is right for every problem. For the applications i develop for work this python only approach really cleaned up the code.

Lona can encapsulate html and its functionality into widgets (https://lona-web.org/end-user-documentation/html.html#widget...). The most views then just use a few abstract widgets and maybe around 10 html nodes
