Appreciate the nit. Had no idea that Flask wasn't production-grade. Yeesh.

I really don't miss this part of the Python world. When I started on backend stuff ~10 years ago, the morass of runtime stuff for Python webservers felt bewildering. uWSGI? FastCGI? Gunicorn? Twisted? Like you say, missing batteries all the way down, presumably due to async/GIL related pains.

Then you step into the Go world and it's just the stdlib http package.

Anyway, ranting aside, batteries included is a real thing, and it's great. Python just doesn't have it.
