reflex VS MicroPyScript

Hey thanks for the feedback. We're working on relaxing our dependencies [1] to make reflex more compatible. Do you remember what libraries you had the conflict with?

Thanks! Pue looks cool, thanks for sharing. I see some similarities to https://reflex.dev in terms of providing a declarative dom expression language with built-in conditionals and loop primitives.

In the dynamic world of web development, Python has emerged as a dominant force, especially in backend development – the primary focus of this blog post. Although it's worth mentioning that there are ongoing efforts to use Python for the frontend as well, like Reflex (previously known as Pynecone, they presumably had to change their name because of Pinecone vector database), which even garnered support from Y Combinator. Samuel Colvin (creator of Pydantic) is also working on FastUI (he literally just released the first version in December 2023).

They have a ready to use LLM chat App, which makes it more likely I will check it out.

We will use Reflex to build this chatbot.

Reflex is an open-source, full-stack Python framework that makes it easy to build and deploy web apps in minutes. You have most of the features of a frontend library like Reactjs and a backend framework like Django in one with ease in development and deployment. All while developing in a single language PYTHON.

Someone should tell Anaconda that they can't do this, then: https://pyscript.net/

There's https://pyscript.net/ -- or do you mean for scripting the browser's behaviour rather than replacing JS in website code?

Icepool is a Python package. If you know Python, you have a head start in understading Icepool's syntax. Icepool is written in pure Python and has no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library, allowing you to run it in most places you can run Python. You can directly interoperate Icepool with the extensive Python ecosystem, including Numpy, Matplotlib, and Pandas. Recent projects such as Pyodide, JupyterLite, and PyScript allow Icepool to interoperate with JavaScript, allowing you to make your own web applications using Icepool.

But we're not stuck with one or the other. Python-JS interop has improved greatly in recent years with projects like Pyodide, JupyterLite, and PyScript. Often my strategy is to do the probability in Python and use JS for visualization, as you can see in this ability score calculator or this AnyDice-like interface.

same was done for other languages too, like Python https://pyscript.net/

Finally, there's PyScript. The dream of many Python developers, PyScript allows Python to run in the browser using WebAssembly. As someone who never fully mastered JavaScript, I find this particularly appealing.

I assume your goal is to write the least amount of JavaScript. There's actually a way to run Python in your browser. Take a look at pyscript.net. Not everything is supported, however, so you'd have to check whether the dependencies of the tools you have developed can run.

PyScript. I made a small single-page site that translates code into english with it. Really neat learning experience.
