Can Django work well with pandas and numpy?

I am trying to build a web application that requires intensive mathematical calculations. Can I use Django to populate python charts and pandas dataframe?

You can use any framework to do so. If you worked with Python before I can recommend using Django since you have the same (clear Python) syntax along your project. This is good because you keep the same logic everywhere but should not be your major concern when it comes to choosing the right framework for your needs. So for example if you are a top Ruby-On-Rails developer I would not suggest to learn Django just because of Pandas.

In general: A lot of packages/libraries are written in other languages but you will still be able to use them in Django/Python. So for example the famous "Elasticsearch" Searchbackend has its roots in JAVA but is still used in a lot of Django apps.

But it also goes the other way around "Celery" is written in Python but can be used in Node.js or PHP. There are hundreds of examples but I think you get the Point.

I hope that I brought some light into the darkness. If you have questions please leave them in the comments.
