NestJS: It's making me cry

• FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition

  329 20,480 0.0 Java

  FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition is a no-nonsense implementation of FizzBuzz made by serious businessmen for serious business purposes.

  

I agree nestjs copies a lot of concepts from Spring and ASP.net. But that actual highlights the problem: a lot of those patterns aren't necessary or as useful in Javascript as they are in compiled languages. And frankly, while most people advocate for it because it's "enterprise-level" (whatever that means), I find a lot of the fluff involved in Java completely unnecessary and overly complex. My favorite over-the-top example of that sort of thing is the FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition (not a web app, I realize, but the outrageous complexity is the point).

  Meteor, the JavaScript App Platform

  

My personal choice is Koa. I love it. If you want something more "out-of-the-box" and opinionated than Koa or Express, then there are a plenty - many built on top of express or using a similar APIs.
