Discussion on: Is Express.js still relevant?

Interesting, we've been discussing this at Glitch. Our default is Express but we'd like to give more options at least.

I've also been exploring it for code examples where I want a super lean front end to run.

I've got Hapi, Polka, Koa, and Fastify on my todo list. Excited to try them out.

There are so many options out there!

One brick wall that I've stumbled across with trying to build something without any frameworks is the view engine. There seems to be zero documentation/examples of a Node.js-only view engine configuration...

Yeah I'd love to have one that starts from Node.js only and then shows the different options as minimal as possible
