Python as a Universal Backend
summary
Claims that Python can act as a universal backend by exposing functions over 0RPC backed by ZeroMQ, demonstrating a Python 2 CRUD server (TinyDB) serving an Express.js front end on port 3000 and a Python 3 analytics service on port 9000 that renders SVG pie charts. Code runs as shown and Node and Python clients call the same function signatures, but the setup adds serialization/latency, more moving parts, potential single points of failure and makes refactors across language boundaries harder.
