Having spent 36+ years in the computer industry, I consider the advent of htmx to be the first thing in web development to to attempt to pull the industy's head out of it's ass.
Don't forget to include a solid remake of css in your project like tailwindcss. It also makes code much more readable.
Shameless plug: If you want seamless SSR with Django logic, but React templates, check out my project at https://www.reactivated.io .
It's like HTMX but uses React, and the JS bits are rendered on the server. You can then hydrate on the client.
The Reactivated docs site itself uses the project: https://github.com/silviogutierrez/reactivated/tree/main/web...
It's still a long way from being complete, but I'm working on something like that[0]. Eventual plans are to have good Rust library interop (e.g. bindings to hyper for http) while also being able to compile to Wasm (to run on an erlang-style distributed runtime / the browser). The language is currently interpreted, but one I get typechecking working, I should be able to merge in the Wasm codegen backend I'm working on (with eventual plans for LLVM). Current compiler has zero external dependencies.
Language itself could be described as a mix of OCaml, Scheme, and Lua. Currently working on the hygienic procedural macro system and system injection through algebraic effects.
