News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Interesting. What server side tech stacks are often used by young developers in the recent hackathon? Are there a few dominant ones or many choices?

I'll second that question. I figured Rails would still be pretty popular, and now I'm wondering to what degree that is or isn't true these days.

My guess would be React/Angular or, if it's a particularly hip group, Next.js/Nuxt.js/Serverless with as little back-end as possible.

In my experience Angular is out and React is in with some vue people around as well.

For backend, graphql is in, expressjs is still in, firebase is in, flask and django are in.

Ruby on rails is unfortunately out among my peers: https://devpost.com/software/built-with/ruby-on-rails

Not a bad idea to do a blog post analyzing devpost trends, I might do that after exams.

React, vue, firebase, express, flask and django at mine.
