What's the state of server-side frameworks with Kotlin support today for small teams?
You named Express as an example for a good framework - I'd say both http4k and ktor come close to it. Spring Boot would really be on the other end and I met lots of JS/TS devs that didn't even want to touch it. I did have the same impression than you though: Documentation for ktor is not great at all.

Application-as-a-Function Thinking
I couple of years ago I was lucky to use http4k, a server as a function web library for Kotlin. It was such a wonderful change compared to every other technologies available in both Java and Kotlin. It's simple.
Testing becomes so much easier too, as one can instantiate a the whole web routing aspect, without having to bind it to a port and having to send real http requests.
If strongly suggest people to take a look at it. It's not perfect, but it's a lot simpler than other frameworks and libraries. And it's a shift in some of the current mentality of using heavy frameworks (such as spring boot) which blow up anyone's cognitive load.

What is wrong with skrape.it?

Why most of us won't be inventing little languages
This includes many things that Kotlin makes use of, like String.invoke(block: () -> Unit) which is both an extension on String instances and makes uses of Kotlin's "ability" to move lambdas out of parentheses if they are the last argument (so something like log(lazyString: () -> String), can be used as log({ "message" }), or log { "message" }, @DslMarker (to allow a String.invoke(() -> Unit) block in the form of "it should behave well", only inside the context of a StringSpec.), infix funs (+ is infix operator fun plus(), with some slightly specific language handling because it's extremely common, infix fun shouldBe). This is using Kotest (https://kotest.io/docs/framework/writing-tests.html), but other tools like Ktor, Skrape.it (https://github.com/skrapeit/skrape.it), and more: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/type-safe-builders.html
