       | Just echoing what a lot of people here have said - I love Flask.
       | It was the first time I ever enjoyed programming. It was
       | beautiful, simple, easy, thoughtful. I had been programming for
       | years, and it just felt like a breath of fresh air at the time.

       | What a feat! Great work, I use Flask somewhat often. I am not
       | surprised they've managed to do this, considering how rock-solid
       | the module seems.

         | FastAPI has 50% as many issues open right now, as Flask has had
         | in total (1.1K vs 2.3K), and ~500 open PRs currently while
         | Flask has had ~2.2K PRs in total.
         | 
         | Yet, both repositories have closed the same amount of issues
         | during the last month, but FastAPI only merged 2 PRs while
         | Flask has merged 21.
         | 
         | Popularity probably plays into this a lot, but it's also just
         | very clear that whoever is doing the management of Flask, is
         | doing an excellent job! Kudos.

         | Yes. Choosing an async framework over Flask when you don't need

       | I love flask. I use restful flask on every project and I
       | experimented with flask restplus and flask restx. I don't feel
       | technically limited with Flask or it's derivative API frameworks.
       | 
       | Flask will always be my go to framework but I am looking forward
       | to actually sitting down learning Fast API and Nestjs with
       | Typescript.
       | 
       | FastAPI for my usecase doesn't offer anything new but the hype is
       | defeaning and Typer CLI seems like a good way to build CLI
       | projects.
       | 
       | and Nestjs is something I should learn because I should learn. I
       | didn't enjoy django but I need to learn a "professional" backend
       | framework and also Typescript.

         | Agreed with both of these. Flask and HTMX has been an awesome

         | Fully seconded, I just want to add for those of you in the
         | asyncio world, aiohttp and FastAPI provide nearly identical
         | APIs to requests and Flask (respectively), and for those of you
         | familiar with these tools, they're a great way to be productive
         | with asyncio almost immediately.

         | Yeah, 21 PRs (from 8-10 different contributors) & 32 issues
