No progress and no news. Now is not the time to start such projects when there is LLM and other hot stuff.

Wow, I haven’t updated my Django knowledge since Django 3.2.
Great advancement!
Hi @pwtail I was thinking at the beginning that you’d basically have to try and write Django from scratch using asyncio all the way.
I think the overall performance of the server would benefit greatly, especially with htmx making Django relevant again but by massively increasing the number of small partial template renders. I’d say ditch all the old bag Django legacy stuff and lean into the htmx use case, which is going to take off big time for small the medium companies/startups. Until i got the hole hypertext is back, htmx thing, I thought Django was “how we made websites 15 years ago”.
I wouldn’t expect too much help from the Django team. Django is great because it changes at glacial rates and that makes it stable and dependable but not wildly innovative. The kind of developer that that attracts is not going to be down for radical changes to the core code base. Which is why an async version of Django is going to have to be a complete break. Its culture not knowhow that is the problem.
Hope you get somewhere with it mee matey!
p.s. I think FastAPI was a async answer to Flask not Django.
