I think it's a mistake to not include NestJS in this overview.
Support TypeScript from the get go and structure an app much more better than Express for example.

Hey, thanks for your comment.
Nest is great, I just went with the proven frameworks for this type, if you are new, fun and new frameworks are cool, but then again nobody is hiring for those, and also they might not last.

Not saying this is the case for nest, but I could have included about a billion more frameworks.

I hope everyone picks a framework they like most of all, if that is NestJs 100% go for it, but for the general public I personally think Express or Koa are just more saught after.

To learn NestJs, it needs to learn TS too. I don't want to spend much time that will end up with not using it at all in a job. A lot of Node.js jobs still require Express. So I simply go back to learn Express.
