  I'm excited about Python's typing potential. I recently rewrote an API from TypeScript to Kotlin since I am fairly unhappy with the server-side TS ecosystem, but ran across https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi when exploring options and really dig it - seems to be by _far_ the lowest-ceremony way to make an HTTP API with static types that integrate with parsing/validation (something TypeScript is still really bad at, unless you bring your own runtime typing libraries...).

  That being said, I disagree with other posters here (not in the parent, just in general) saying python is 'not a good language' for web dev. Python is an excellent web dev language for the back end. You will need to use a proper front end language for the UI, but use either flask, django, or a similar asynchronous library (https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/, https://github.com/sanic-org/sanic) to structure your requests and user-level API. You will then design your UI first by architecting/designing what your program does, what behaviors you need to handle, writing API requests for these in your Python framework (can first stub out), and then designing your UI in the front end framework that you've chosen. This will give you an evolutionary and decoupled system that you will be happy with, can share with others that will be widely understood, and once you are familiar with the practice, it really is very quick and stereotyped to set up.
