Should I learn React or Django?
Q2. Should I learn React or Django?
Does Django have a future?
Django seems like the best backend framework for what I want ( a post feed type application ) and react seems the best for what I want as far as hot reloads on the frontend. I also know both well. However, I am not seeing too much love for the combination...
There is noting wrong with that combo, React is one frontend framework/library it doesn't care what you use in the backend to create the graphql/api with its happy to pull and send data from anything hell you can even use headless WordPress if you really want too! If you know how to use Django and enjoy working with it, there is zero cons, it really doesn't matter in the frontend. Trends and so on don't matter neither like its up to you all developers are different if you got experience with Django it will get the job done, its not better or worst than anything else, Django can handle the backend of your app without any issues I think!
Here's a GitHub repo where you could mix and match different kinds of back end and front end library/frameworks

Just goes to show that it doesn't matter what the back-end for react is or it doesn't matter what the front end of django is
