Sometimes the war is lost even before the battle begins. During grad school, I wrote a whole bunch of web apps entirely in R using Shiny. It was clunky as hell, but yeah, it worked. I went looking for what's up with Shiny these days and found this - https://shiny.posit.co/ So yeah, full on pivot into python. Pip install shiny. Alright! "No web development skills required. Develop web apps entirely in R I mean Python"...yeah that's not happening.

I'm following Pynecone (now Reflex) from the start and liked the idea of building out an AST with Python and compiling that to a working web app (we're actually doing the same with <a href="https://wasp-lang.dev/">https://wasp-lang.dev/</a>, only it's a DSL and an explicit compiler with JS interop).

Streamlit

Turn python scripts into beautiful ML tools

These 'pure Python' UI frameworks may never capture the market of existing full-stack development, but they may capture untapped markets of Python programmers who would build UIs if only they could stay in Python / if they could avoid the JS stack. Companies may also benefit by hiring Python devs for some UI-based tasks, like internal tools, that don't need the fine control you get in full-stack development. https://streamlit.io proved this in the data science space. Turns out the last thing data scientists want to do is fiddle with JS, CSS, Vite, node, npm, client-server protocols, etc., but they really want to build UIs for their models.
