What is the best framework for someone who doesn't know JavaScript?

Question

What's a good front-end framework for someone fluent in Python yet who knows nothing about JavaScript? I don't really know what to choose here.

If you don't want to learn JS but want to build something that feels like an SPA, you could try something like https://htmx.org or https://unpoly.com.
If learning JS is your goal, maybe Svelte as tamimio mentioned.
I'm a fan of https://unpoly.com.

I have been programming mostly in Python for several years. Modern JS has classes, async, await, etc - it has a lot in common with Python semantically. Of course, the syntax is different, but I got over that speed hump quickly.Many years ago I did try CoffeeScript, but I found that debugging still requried JS coding, so I gave up on it. Perhaps it is a better option these days.

Learn svelte, the closest to vanilla, fast performance, you get sveltekit too.
