Show of hands for backend web services development -

Who uses Django, Rails, or similar full-featured frameworks?

Who uses micro-frameworks like Flask?

Who uses enterprise Java, Jetty, Dot Net, etc.?

Who uses an entirely Javascript stack?

Who uses a non-traditional language that has become more web-servicey, like Go, Rust, or Swift?

Who uses something so wildly untraditional that it's barely mentioned? OkCupid using C++, etc.?

Who uses an entirely custom framework (in any language)?

Would really love to see a break down of who is using what, how people feel about their tech stack, etc.?

Django's batteries included setup makes it a no brainer for almost any project big or small. Kudos to the team and contributers

I still have some very old Django projects that I'm maintaining for > 15 years. It's an absolute delight.

Thanks to Django. I got into the webdev world so easily.

Curious, how come Django started to make major versions instead of 1.*?

Can be the decreasing in popularity the reason to make Something to change it?

This would make an interesting poll. I think that's possible here? Maybe with some karma threshold, I don't seem to be able to make one.

We use flask and go at work. I've been micro-framework or roll-my-own-framework most of my career. Go is new for me though, and it's grown on me enough that it's what I prefer for new web-facing projects even for little personal things.

Love it!

Which version of Perl are you using, and what type of service(s) are you maintaining?

Is this older software, or do you use it for new projects too?

Have you rolled any sort of framework yourself?

What are your thoughts on Raku?

I"m almost entirely dotnet these days, with a smattering of Go here and there.

I work in ops though, so I'm not building consumer-facing products but mostly IT glue code and internal tooling (mostly Go), dashboards, business report generators, gluing SaaS together, etc. (mostly dotnet/C#).
