Svelte for all front end work. Svelte is a JavaScript transpiler, so it really isn’t a library. But it is the best for fast, small frontend code.

I like working with Go language backends, but I mostly end up using PHP still. I’ve done some Node.js with Express for a personal server on my computer that I use for automation. That has been a very fun project!

JavaScript + React = 🐐 (GOAT)

The greatest of all time ⚛️

What's difference between Thin and Supabase?

The biggest difference is optimistic updates. This saves a lot of boilerplate you'd typically use redux for.

My personal favorite is React Js and Node Js for frontend and backend development respectively. 😃

I just love the lifecycle of React #️⃣ and not gonna lie it's really have many edge over Angular JS 🖥.

And Node Js with Express Js is like having the most powerful tool in your hand 🛠. A big community 🧑‍🤝‍🧑, huge number of module support for various utilities 📂and regular updates ♻.

Open to know more views, and would love to discuss more about it.

gatsby.js + headless CMS and gatsby cloud for clients that need fast and modern websites.

For building web applications that are based on regular form submission I would probably pick RedwoodJS today.

TypeScript + NextJS, currently use it for almost every project.

C#, Python and PHP are my mains, and excluding C# from this discussion (b/c it's for Unity,) lightweight frameworks are my go-to. For example, here are the frameworks that I have used recently:

Python: CherryPy
PHP: Slim Framework

Sure, you need some knowledge as you will have to integrate another libraries as needed, but at least I know what I'm doing.
I'm not saying that catch-all frameworks such as Laravel are bad, I still use them for larger scale projects. The thing is, I need to host these on my rented server. They track the disk quota by both the file size and the file count, and they also confine us to a specific version of interpreters. So I'd like to keep things small.
