Is it worth studying django in 2024

Question

I am a novice web developer and recently finished learning python, now I want to move on and try to make the first real project with a working backend. After reading about different frameworks, I liked Django. But recently, one of my friends told me that django is a big Clumsy machine, and if I really want to do backend, then it's better to study node.js or the same flask. I have not found any information from professionals on the Internet. And I decided to ask here, is django really so slow and outdated, and is it worth starting to study it now if I want to be competitive in the market?

Answer 1

If you like Django, then use it.
Professionells should have experience with many languages and learn them - at least basics- within a short time.
Dive deeper into Django but also learn node.js and flask. You will find parallels and differences.

Answer 2

It will be excellent if you combine it with Python

Answer 3

Fores ,

Note that Django and flask are for Python, which you already know, while node.js is for JavaScript, which you don't know yet.
