Ask HN: What language/framework for simple web app in 2023?

• flyctl

  544 1,302 9.9 Go

  Command line tools for fly.io services

  

For deployment, I like Cloudflare Pages/Workers for small projects and https://fly.io for large projects.

For frontend, I think you'll really enjoy Elm if you like R and Python. Personally, I use vanilla JS (no framework) for small projects and Elm for large projects.

For backend, there are plenty of excellent REST API frameworks for Rust, Go, Deno, Elixir, etc. I can give specific language recommendations if you're interested.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

• elm-github-install

  2 205 10.0 Ruby

  An alternative decentralized package manager for Elm

is elm still active? it looks like there hasn't been a release since 2019, and the last release seems to have made some technical choices (can't install and use packages with native js code) that mean a lack of active core development is a significant disadvantage
