We dive deep into the popular packages and software developers, data scientists, and incredible hobbyists doing amazing things with Python. If you're new to Python, you'll quickly learn the ins and outs of the community by hearing from the leaders. And if you've been Pythoning for years, you'll learn about your favorite packages and the hot new ones coming out of open source.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talk-python-to-me"},"episode":{"title":"#537: Datastar: Modern web dev, simplified","slug":"537-datastar-modern-web-dev-simplified","published_at":"2026-02-21T20:36:58+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talk-python-to-me/537-datastar-modern-web-dev-simplified","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talk-python-to-me","url":"https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/537/datastar-modern-web-dev-simplified","audio_url":"https://talkpython.fm/episodes/download/537/datastar-modern-web-dev-simplified.mp3","summary":"You love building web apps with Python, and HTMX got you excited about the hypermedia approach -- let the server drive the HTML, skip the JavaScript build step, keep things simple. But then you hit that last 10%: You need Alpine.js for interactivity, your state gets out of sync, and suddenly you're juggling two unrelated libraries that weren't designed to work together. What if there was a single 11-kilobyte framework that gave you everything HTMX and Alpine do, and more, with real-time updates, multiplayer collaboration out of the box, and performance so fast you're actually bottlenecked by the monitor's refresh rate? That's Datastar. On this episode, I sit down with its creator Delaney Gillilan, core maintainer Ben Croker, and Datastar convert Chris May to explore how this backend-driven, server-sent-events-first framework is changing the way full-stack developers think about the modern web.","meta_description":"You love building web apps with Python, and HTMX got you excited about the hypermedia approach -- let the server drive the HTML, skip the JavaScript build…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4597,"processing_state":"processed","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/talk-python-to-me/episodes/537-datastar-modern-web-dev-simplified/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talk-python-to-me/537-datastar-modern-web-dev-simplified.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
