  • imba

    🐤 The friendly full-stack language

    Imba is one I'm really enjoying at the moment. It's like all the warts of javascript, css and jsx were removed and turned into a very fun environment.

    https://imba.io or discussed a few times here on HN

  • SvelteKit

    web development, streamlined (by sveltejs)

    SvelteKit! https://kit.svelte.dev/

    It's really fun and easy to make front and back-end apps with any combination of pre-rendering, client-side navigation, and server-side rendering on server-based or serverless platforms. To me SvelteKit makes it feel like there's finally a harmonious unity between the front and backends. Plus the dev experience is straight fire. Not quite at a 1.0 release unfortunately but I still love it.

    Plus, Svelte was rated the most-loved framework in the StackOverflow developer survey this year: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3628231/developers-love-ru...

    The Little Programming Language

    This is great! I write a lot of one-off utilities that run on my main desktop as web applications backed by sqlite so you're really speaking my language here!

    I enjoyed the little bit of exposure that I had to Tcl/Tk through EXPECT, I used to write a lot of embedded test scaffolding using it back in the 00s. I've also been interested in checking out Little Language [0].

    Wapp looks like a great place to start with Tcl.

  • stator

    Stator, your go-to template for the perfect stack. 😍🙏

    Working on new projects has been fun for me ever since I started using https://github.com/chocolat-chaud-io/stator

    This allows me to quickly start coding while not focusing on the tedious configuration tasks that usually accompany a new project. I've been using it for over a year for personal and professional projects. It's not perfect, but it helps. I wrote this open-source template, so I am, of course biased :)
