I basically want to make a small personal website that probably won’t get any attention. It will also be somewhat simple. Is Django overkill and I should use Flask or something else or is it okay? I tried learning JS and using ExpressJS but JS overall feels very loosely typed and I don’t like it. I’ve been using Python for over 3 years now.

    Sure yeah, it’s not hard really. There is some background you’ll need to learn, like adding a view or working with models, but when you learn it, you’ll be glad you did. Templates are a great reason to use Django.

    Performance is great. Of course, the real performance isn’t really with Django itself, but how you use it. For example, if you write expensive database queries, your app will be slower.
