6 yrs ago, I wrote a web app in Laravel, Slim, Node Express/Sails, Java Spark, Django & Go. My fav was Django/Laravel. Did the same in '23 with Node Express/TS, Go, ASP .Net Core, Spring Boot, Swift Vapor, Laravel, Javalin. Go/Vapor was my fav. Laravel is still the most complete.
The worst of these was definitely Java Spring. I f'in *LOVE* Java, but this thing was like "Hey, we found the security package in your dependencies so we generated this cool login screen for you on a route we thought was great. Good luck finding where all this is. Bye". OMG no.
@andreybutov php has grown on me working with it at Meta (although technically I guess Hack is more of a php derivative)
