"Hypermedia is your friend," they said. "You don't need JavaScript anymore," they said. "You'll be _fine_..."
It's no secret that hypermedia has been making a quiet resurgence in the web development landscape. One of the most popular toolkits in the Python space is htmx, offering a simple, declarative approach to AJAX, CSS Transitions, and Server Sent Events directly from your HTML.
