Threads: Meta’s Newest Social App

I don't use Python or Django anymore but I'm always happy to hear about it and kinda surprised to learn it's still being chosen today for massive-scale social media sites. To me, Django was my go-to for cranking out a usable MVP in the shortest time possible. It made it so easy, I could define a DB schema and it would generate these forms with validation built in. I kinda miss those days.

I sort of wish that Go, Rust, Zig has these kind of frameworks like Django, Laravel and Rails.

I believe there is an opportunity here to make the next Django in these languages.

Each of those absolutely do have them. Here is a list for just Golang: https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go#web-frameworks

What you're saying is correct, but oh boy have I worked on Django apps that have had awful security issues because of this. "look, all my endpoints are there, user A must only be able to reset their own password... right? ;)"

Also you don't have to miss those days! You can still use Django or a similar library? I still use Flask, it is great.

I'm pretty deep in the Typescript world these days but hey, maybe one day I'll make my way back into Python!
