Re: javascript transpilers

Agree with everything already said.

Only thing I want to add is that while js has historically been a horrible language, the modern standards have helped rectify this. Modern js can be almost pleasant to work with nowadays.

I wouldn't spend time transpiling python to js. Just try to learn js and maybe transpile from a modern standard to the browser standard. It's almost as easy as python to pick up.

Django compressor helps greatly in the last case.

If you don't want and don't have the time to learn JS you may as well consider outsourcing the frontend work, I've worked in places that did just that and everybody was happy, the internal team liked python and the outsourced company people liked UX and JS.

Hi,

You don't describe to what extent you need to use JavaScript - IOW, what problem you need to solve with JavaScript?

Depending you needs you might get away with basic knowledge and usage of some helpful JavaScript library/framework.

I have avoided javascript like the plague. However it seems I have to bite the bullet. Interestingly, there are now a number of Python -> Javascript transpilers.

Where would be a good place to start a discussion on the topic?

I am self-employed  with multiple demands on my time so I cannot afford to allocate sufficient time to learn it let alone undertake formal Javascript training. My hope is to pick it up by osmosis and wonder if a transpiler would help.

Thanks for any pointers

Mike
