Would django benefit from a marketing refresh? Of course. Unfortunately, unlike rails, it isn't a passion project for an independently wealthy person.
At the risk of self-promotion, htmx is making all of these excellent, mature server side frameworks relevant again. They are very good at producing hypermedia and, if you don't try to turn them into dumb JSON data terminals, they can be extremely productive and produce wonderful applications.

Not sure I'd call Rails an independently wealthy person's 'passion project'. He's wealthy because of his startup, which Rails came from. Rails development happens because Basecamp makes things with it...

I wonder how seriously this kind of graph should be taken.
IMHO, it surely correlates with the number of newcomers, but also, with how newcomer-friendly a topic is.
