I basically want to make a small personal website that probably won’t get any attention. It will also be somewhat simple. Is Django overkill and I should use Flask or something else or is it okay? I tried learning JS and using ExpressJS but JS overall feels very loosely typed and I don’t like it. I’ve been using Python for over 3 years now.

    Big framework vs little framework is a “debate” I’ve seen a lot - but I put it in quotes because it’s not really something that anyone has firm answers for, and everyone pretty much agrees that there probably is a cut off point in site complexity, but it’s not a single, hard number.

    For a small site, it probably won’t take very long either way, so do whichever one appeals to you . It sounds like it’s something of a personal project, which is all the more reason to use whatever tech stack you feel like using.
