Ask HN: Best web framework in 2018

I'm trying to choose right web framework for my startup. The problem is that I haven't followed last trends in web dev for a couple of years. Previously I used Python/Django for all of my web projects.

Initially I decided to choose Python/Django because I am familiar with that tech stack and I can be productive from first day. But I have some doubts because our web app will use heavily a lot of interactive stuff like a WebRTC, realtime whiteboard, chat messaging etc.

So, do I need to choose something like NodeJS based web frameworks or I can stay with Django using builtin Channels library?

If I need to choose NodeJS based solution, what kind of libraries do I need to use? Express, React, MongoDB, etc. Is there a some recommended ways of building such apps and do it have standard functionality with common cases like user authorization, session etc.

Maybe some another good alternatives here?
