LAMP anyone?

Great stack. I prefer to rock NGINX instead of Apache these days, which they call "LEMP".

Isn't nginx for static pages mostly, and it proxies load-balance/dynamic-content to other servers behind, will LEMP make development less straightforward comparing to LAMP? I'm actually using lighttpd these days due to its light-weight, and dynamic/static page support all-in-one.

The current stack I work with:

Gulp for task (test/build/etc.)

Webpack for bundeling

React/Redux for the front-end

Bootstrap for the styling

Koa for the back-end

Socket.IO for the realtime stuff

RethinkDB as the datastore

Nginx as the reverse proxy to the API and static file server

What would I change in the future?

Getting rid of Gulp, most of the time Make should be enough.

Replacing Redux, Socket.IO and Koa with the Apollo stack. GraphQL with its subscriptions solves most of the problems I had with REST and WebSocket APIs the last years.

I'd probably use Preact instead of React, because it's much smaller. The React eco-system is unbeatable, so I wouldn't switch frameworks in the near future.

Don't know about Rethink, it's a really nice DB and the change-feeds play well with GraphQL subscriptions on the other hand the company behind it went down the drain :\

How it feels to learn JavaScript in 2016 https://hackernoon.com/how-it-feels-to-learn-javascript-in-2... HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12634577

That article is a sarcastic joke about JS frameworks. I would not recommend it as a learning resource.

ASP.NET Core is a lean and composable framework for building web and cloud applications. ASP.NET Core is fully open source and available on GitHub. ASP.NET Core is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

I'm excited about the future of .net core on linux but I'm waiting to hear some success stories. Have you built something significant with it you can point to? This is not snark - I'd really love to hear about it.

I've spent at least the last 10 years (including Uni days) writing mostly Java or .NET in some form or other.

I don't mind Java, I generally like using Java 8, but I would happily be writing C# instead if I could run it as easy in as many places. The syntactic sugar, Linq, the latest MVC framework, etc- are generally much faster to get moving in and don't require the configuration hell you can run into w/ Java.

However, as a guy who ALSO maintains the servers and deployment process for the things we build, I'll continue avoiding .NET until it can be built, archived, and deployed as easily as we do our Java based applications. I don't think I could even maintain a Windows Server now if I had to.

ASP.NET Core is not sure if you're trolling or just a fan :-o

I am not trolling AND I am a huge fan of .NET :D
