I've been working with Django for almost my whole career, since 1.1. It's a joy to use, and blows any other web framework I've used out of the water when it comes to actually just building stuff.
Django is a fantastic boring[1] tool, and seeing boring updates like this is great.
What do you use to write your front end Javascript?
Not OP, but I've also been using Django for (more than) my whole career and I use React on the frontend.
If you're curious about the frontend path I took, it was roughly:
* jQuery with no framework
* Backbone (for a couple years)
* Backbone + Marionette (for a couple more years)
* Angular (for about a week)
* React (for the past few years)
I'm using stuff like slickgrid[0], jquery-ui datepicker, json-editor[1] and wonder how I will drive these components from something like Angular or React?
doh, quickly googled for the github links below and saw there now a slickgrid-es6[2] fork which I have not tried. But my question still stand: how do you drive jquery libs from newer frameworks?
