New server-side framework based on monadic parsing
This is cool. I just want to give a shoutout to Suave, which is the original inspiration for Giraffe, and is still my go-to web server in F#.

Building a Webpack alternative in F#
This shouldn't be that hard, I just needed a server that well... served the HTML/CSS/JS files right? I went to my desktop, created an F# script added a couple of libraries like Suave and CliWrap so I could call the dotnet fable command from my F# code and make it compile my Fable files.

Introducing Giraffe.Htmx
Giraffe is a library that sits atop ASP.NET Core and allows developers to build web applications in a functional style; dotnet new giraffe is literally my starting point when I begin a new web application project. (Rather than write three more sentences filled with effusive praise, I’ll just leave it at that; it’s great.) It also provides a view engine (that builds upon Suave‘s “experimental” view engine) which uses an F# DSL to define HTML in a strongly-typed way. It has been incredibly efficient for a while, but with .NET’s work over the past two releases at improving performance, and Giraffe’s adoption of those techniques, it is lightning fast.

Is Web Forms still not an option in .net 6.0?
Have a look at DotMVVM. They've gone to great lengths to provide a gradual upgrade process for Webforms projects.

knowing what I know now I must flee
If you have any experience with modern web development, this could actually be a great opportunity. I'm in a similar situation with an application that is extremely old and running on Web Forms (and in VB.NET, god I hate that language). Pretty much every developer on my team has no idea how to build a modern web site, so I get to run pretty much everything related to modernization. It's great experience for the resume. I would recommend using DotVVM (https://www.dotvvm.com) for a rewrite. It's not very popular yet, but it lets you iteratively migrate web forms apps to a .NET Core compliant application. From there, you could rewrite even further into something like React.

How to Upgrade a Codebase from .NET Framework to .NET 6
I have one first step for the upgrade: Change WebForms to DotVVM. Sadly, that is already an enormous task :(
