The datatables integration for web2py would be super useful. I'm sure we could port it over to py4web easily.
I just feel like with all the stuff web2py gave us to get something quickly going missing, it'd just another api framework and there are fastapi and apistar as well falcon out.. I think having these ease of use stuff back would really hit home and would also make it easier to port from web2py. And we would be pretty much the Jhipster of the python world no?
