TBH if it comes with some decent starter templates it's a massives step up from what the python world offers. I've been looking to make a simple website recently - landing page, user sign up, taking payments, then access to a simple react one-pager. It's all doable but with django you just have to do everything, even if you start with the cookicutter. I just want something where I can pick from a good base template,…

I like using Nim or Rust, or TypeScript, depends on the script. If it's just a few lines, sure I'll write it in bash, but if it gets a little larger, I convert it into a real programming language.

But TypeScript doesn’t have ADTs which you stated was a hard requirement. It has some other features that can achieve similar things though, so maybe that’s good enough?

    type ADT = 
        | { case : 'a', a : Number }
        | { case : 'b', b : string }

    function f (c : ADT) {
        switch(c.case) {
            case 'a' : return c.a
            case 'b' : return Number.parseInt(c.b)

            // case 'c' : return 0 // compile error

            // case 'b' : return c.a // also compile error
        }
    }

Have you used React before? It's miles above HTML templating. I honestly don't use frameworks that have regular templating anymore, like Vue or Svelte.

I have used React. I'm a huge fan and I also prefer it over its most common "competitors" like Vue and Svelte. But React (like Vue and Svelte) are fundamentally about interactivity. If I had a project where I knew for sure that I only wanted to generate HTML sans JS on the server (or with a static build process) I wouldn't even consider using React. It barely even makes sense. Your "React components" would just be Ja…

Rust as a replacement for a bash script? My bash scripts are often edited, I could not imagine using a compiled language where I would have to store the source as a separate file from the executable, then compile it each time. I'd love to know your more specific use cases, if you don't mind. I'm always happy to learn something new. Could you share some Rust that most people would script in Bash as an example? What's…

You can run scripts as you would with bash, you don't have to manually build and run the executable. For example, `cargo run (inside the script source folder)` and `sh script.sh` do basically the same thing, end user wise. `nim compile --run sc…
