I'm fascinated by this. It seems that for any developer with less than five years of industry experience there's a reasonable chance that they've almost exclusively worked in an SPA, JavaScript-for-everything environment.

I have a hunch that there are a lot of web professionals out there these days who genuinely don't know how to build a web application without JavaScript - POST forms, cookies and the like.

This is why we end up with a new reinvention of make every five years.

The churn rate on junior developers is probably the single biggest factor in software over the past two decades.

You should make a video with a rebranded Django as “Reinhardt, the Multi Page Application” and see how it goes. Just do the original Rails “blog in ten minutes” demo to show it goes beyond todo lists.
