One of the areas where Python truly shines is on the web. Many well known websites like YouTube, Pintrest, and Spotify are powered by Python. In the mid 2000's, a number of powerful and popular frameworks were created such as Django, Flask, and Pyramid.

It may feel like the choices of web frameworks and innovation in that space if baked and done. But we are actually seeing an explosion of new frameworks for new web paradigms.

In this episode, you'll meet Martijn Faassen who created Morepath. A relatively new web framework built to be a first class citizen of this JavaScript, client-side web paradigm popular in many web apps today.
