       | clever :)

       | Anyone from Netflix would like to chime in on why it was chosen?

         | Tornado was chosen back in 2018 because it was one of the
         | better fully featured async web frameworks. The original
         | ConsoleMe was server-side rendered, and Tornado offered support
         | for these types of templates.
         | 
         | ConsoleMe's frontend is now fully React and could be ported
         | away from Tornado, but it'd be a pretty large effort.
