Are you building a highly interaction frontend application? I mean an actual application? Or is it static with some interactive components? CSS can go far these days. And you can always add little interactivity with a script tag on the page.

No, just curious.

Rails and Phoenix when it's up to me, custom Go+React stack at work.

I actually went 3 years building Phoenix projects (2015-2018) and went back to Ruby/Rails, because it's really hard to beat the ergonomics, low ceremony, and expressiveness of the stack.

Might swing back into Elixir world if the right project comes along.

I would highly recommend Imba in that case.

React using Remix ( https://remix.run/ ) I’ve used it for nearly 2 years in production Highly recommend this video if want a good primer on the problem it solves: https://youtu.be/95B8mnhzoCM?si=EzKwMLbJW2602PJI It’s built by the team that created the popular react router library, which has over a billion downloads since it was published; It brought the joy of programming back for me, but more importantly it solves l…

I started using remix a while back and man, it feels really refreshing in the javascript ecosystem. It feels like they really have hit all the sweet spots that you are used to if you come from an older framework like rails/laravel/django.

Even frameworks like Nuxt or similar kinda solves the same issue but they always seem more front end focused and kinda leaves the database layer up to the developer. I love that Remix takes a stance here and helps you get going.

You have everything you need to get started quickly and the performance is great. It's also really easy to extend functionality with packages and seems like there is very few things that you'll miss.

Struts and JSPs with some hand-crafted JS and CSS (no JS frameworks). At least that's what I was using back when I did any semblance of front-end web development. Yes, I'm old and no I don't do it anymore! But I do work with a lot of folks on my team who use React for our web UI.

Struts 1, right? None of this Struts 2 nonsense :')
