I use static Svelte(Kit) + TypeScript + Tailwind on the front end, Go and Postgraphile in the middle, and PostgreSQL functions on the backend.

I did write my own PostgreSQL migration tool though, to make it easier to write SQL functions in my IDE: https://github.com/pgpkg/pgpkg

Kicking and screaming, I finally succumbed to TypeScript on the server. I used to do everything with Phoenix or Rails, but nowadays its hard to fight the full-stack type safety (even if its mostly an illusion) of something like Remix/Hono with React + Drizzle/Kysely.

I hate having to wire everything together, and how I might have to rewrite it next month, and how there is no standardised way to do anything, and how I have to install a library for everything and figure out how to make them work together.

But the types won me over.

Blazor with C#. It allows me to focus at customer problems and easier at real-time functionality in B2B apps. It doesn't distract me with the ever breaking npm ecosystem shenanigans. We only use some gulp to compile sass code and minify a tiny bit of javascript.

I've used React over the years, but now I mainly use Svelte. I like React, but for me, Svelte feels more lean and straightforward. Depending on how Threlte (a 3D library for Svelte) develops, I might switch completely. Additionally, React's Server Side Components are now introducing a paradigm shift, so it might be the right time to make the switch.

CakePHP

Still? :) Don't get me wrong, I used to use CakePHP as my primary framework 10-15 years ago and loved it, but even then it was starting to lose traction as competition heated up in the PHP space.

How's your experience with CakePHP these days?

Also I am surprised to not see that many people replying with Laravel on this thread.
