I would really like if there was a way to integrate with non-Python ecosystems. I know this is way outside the scope of Django, but I still have to mention it. The moment you want to rely on a JavaScript library or generate some CSS you pretty much have to pull in Node and NPM because there just so much value in those ecosystems. And then you have to put up with a second ecosystem with its own build system and somehow have to magically tie those two together, adding adapters on top of adapters.

Perhaps I'm missing details here but isn't that a reality with non-js web frameworks? The Phoenix docs mention esbuild and npm right off the bat:

Laravel expects node, npm, and vite at the very least:
