Ask HN: Will there be a lot of jobs for Django developers in the next 5-7 years?

1 points by rayalez 11y ago ↗ HN

I really like Django and Python, and want to develop Django websites professionally, but I'm worried that web development is going in the direction of realtime single-page apps and full-stack javascript.

Do you think there will be a lot of startups using Django in the following years?

Can I stick with learning Django, or should I focus on node/ember/etc?

No one has a crystal ball, but one thing I can say for certain is that I've been wondering this for years, but the number of recruiters hitting on me with Django job offers is greater than ever - I get several offers per week. There seems to be a bottomless appetite, and I see lots of startups adopting Django in some part of the stack.
