Maybe you should first build some applications with these frameworks, and then only afterwards start thinking about writing about it.

I actually did! Though, I'll admit I did only spend a week with Flask. I've spent more time with Django and I've been using it for the past 3 years now. 😅

I ran through some Django tutorials as part of my exploration of the python eco system. I like how Django code is built into "pods", but there is more of a learning curve as you need to figure out everything and the kitchen sink.

I was really surprises by Falcon, don't know if you've tried it.
I think it's very nice for pure API servers, no templates there, so it fits most of my needs and I felt totally comfortable with it after 30mins and a completed backend in an hour :)

I'm going to try Flask at some stage after going through ExpressJS this weekend.

The experts have already written countless guides to these frameworks, including head-to-head comparisons. Why not just find and read them?
