Comment:
Adam recently put together a proof-of-concept for a ''Watchfiles'' based
reloader. See https://github.com/adamchainz/django-watchfiles
([https://github.com/samuelcolvin/watchfiles/blob/main/docs/migrating.md
All these reloaders... it's quite complex] 🤯).
Watchfiles is based on the Rust Notify crate, which had good cross-
platform support. Arguably it would be the way to go.
Given how many options there are in this field, I wonder if we'd not be
better served making `get_reloader()` properly pluggable, rather than
adding (an ever growing set of) specific reloaders? 🤔
